What are they afraid of with foreign eggs? Bird Flu?
Edit: obligatory /s
Eggs can contain invasive species.
Chicken eggs can come in all sorts of shapes and colors. Hard to say for sure that an egg is definitively a chicken egg just on visual inspection.
Of course, having the eggs in an incubator is probably a sure-fire way of telling they don't intend to eat them...
They're scared because other countries don't wash them. They don't realise that this keeps them fresherv for longer without needing to keep them cool.
Among everything else that could go wrong with eggs from an untraceable unknown farm with an unknown level of safety management
