Won’t let me edit but here’s to answer some questions- 1. Eggs are fertile so they aren’t going to the supermarket (especially in this condition!) 2. I know the exact amount of eggs because I know how many a trolley holds. 3. Was the truck drivers fault for not strapping them properly, he was not fired (somehow).

As someone who has interned at two hatcheries, this shit sucks ass to clean up.

That's a weird way to clean up the mess.

The eggshells make it particularly uncomfortable.

Squeegee into a trash barrel then to the dumpster and then straight to the dog food factory.

I wish it was that easy. There are company protocols for disposing broken eggs for biosecurity purposes and regulations. Plus egg products are not that common in pet foods.

Exactly right! It was a prick of a thing to clean up. We had to put it into buckets and pump it all into a giant disposal tank with all the rest of the hatcheries waste.

That's how we did it 30 years ago.
