Lots of people in the US have backyard chickens and their eggs have shit on them. A lot of us still refrigerate them though (I do). Once you’re raised with it, it’s a hard mindset to break.
Oh I refrigerate my eggs as well. I don’t have my own though.
The shit itself isn’t protective, but having it there is a sign the eggs aren’t washed like they do in the US egg industry, which removes some sort of protection from the exterior of the shell, which is why US eggs often need refrigeration.

Yeah I know about the coating and the US washing method, but that’s probably still good info for someone out there.
