so if I could work out the logistics of farming chickens, I can crack cleaned eggs into my mouth?
For sure. I have a micro homestead with a lot of chickens (dozens upon dozens lol) - we raise them for eggs, meat, and the manure (which we use to make awesome soil for the garden). We keep the coop extremely clean (like multiple times a month we clean it out), and we keep our chickens healthy (constantly treating for parasites, mites, worms, etc) so they live a happy healthy life.
Those eggs come out clean in the nests because we keep them clean as well. I personally would probably rinse it off right before cracking open just because it's me, but yeah there's no salmonella in our coop because we maintain sanitary conditions (probably way more than the average backyard chicken owner).
If you can make sure they're fresh and the seal hasn't been compromised, I don't see why not.
