I have to agree with Gene, My grandmother did this with hers when
I was growing up, but they were her chickens raised for many  generations
and originated from her parents farm of years before. Not too sure
I would try that today, or at least I would get some tests for  Salmonella
run on them once.

I am not  sure that is safe, Lynn. I have read that salmonella is  
transmitted  from hen to egg and therefore all her chicks carry it also   
regardless of their subsequent living conditions. So unless our hens   
are from salmonella-free, farm-grown hens of many generations they  may  
have the disease within them and in their eggs. If that is so,  then it  
is prudent to not eat raw eggs from hens that are only a  few  
generations removed from any of the big  hatcheries.
