Most looked perfect, I think only two or three were cracked. Eggs are very strong and they had fallen onto soil. Those that had cracked had probably fallen onto other eggs ... there was quite a pile (sob).
But I just had to be wasteful and throw them all away. Couldnt take the risk. I wouldnt have known which had been laid 3 weeks ago and which today.

Fortunately with chooks you really get many more eggs that you need. So it wasnt long before I was back to normal (having repaired the nest box).
