This probably goes without saying to anyone who has chickens but a message to rest DO NOT WASH your eggs. It's the stupidest thing you can do. When you wash them you remove protective layer and they can't last long outside of refrigerator. Even in the fridge chances of getting Salmonella grows very fast.

DO wash them shortly before eating, though – they come out the chicken's “universal back hole”.

Boiling them kills everything harmful. So no point in washing them then.
For anything containing raw egg, washing might not be enough.
Most EU restaurants and cafeterias have a UV sterilizer before storing or handling the eggs: https://www.hendi.eu/en/egg-sterilizer-30-eggs-220462.html

They sometimes crack when boiling, and I don’t want my hardboiled eggs in water with dissolved excrements

As someone who has been eating eggs out of our own production for several years now:

I've never washed an egg. Ever. When we get eggs from our hens, we mark them with the date and they go into the fridge. When we want to eat them, we take them out and do whatever is required.

We mainly consume eggs in boiled, fried and scrambled form, but also sometimes in a carbonara pasta, where they'll get heated but not cooked.

None of us have ever gotten sick from consuming those eggs, in whichever form. We don't consume eggs that are significantly older than one month, but that's pretty much our only safeguard.

If you must wash them, do it right before using them.

Yes, this is okay.
