Eggs in Jamaica

[Bnewb]

I have a small backyard flock and yes, they are safe to eat. If they are not washed the natural protective covering on the egg keeps them good for weeks on the shelf. The ones you buy in the US are already weeks old by the time they hit the stores and are washed and need to be refrigerated. I don't wash my eggs and never refrigerate them.

Yup..exactly. The eggs you generally see here in Negril are from small local area farmers & sold very quickly. In the larger grocery chains like Mega Mart they're refrigerated...
