What did I do wrong in this sentence?

“Mine were snotty. Hate snotty eggs makes me feel sick. Hubby’s were perfect the time before though”

[Lemmonie]

Comma or full stop after “hate snotty eggs”

[aladdin]

editing it in its current form, this would be a better structure:

“Mine were snotty. Hate snotty eggs, makes me feel sick. Hubby’s were perfect the time before, though.”

otherwise:

“My eggs were snotty. I hate snotty eggs, they make me feel sick. Hubby’s were perfect the time before, though.”

would work

Or, “hate snotty eggs they make me feel sick”

The middle sentence is missing punctuation.

I hate snotty eggs, they make me feel sick.

Is this what you are looking for?

This is exactly how I would write it

I hate snotty eggs; they make me feel sick.

When it’s two separate clauses you need a semi-colon. So what you’ve written could be separated by a full stop into two separate sentences. If you add a comma it could make it a comma splice, but people accept this as ok. Commas are mainly used before: for, and, not, but, or, yet and so. A semi-colon could be used in place of because in your example.

I’d put a conjunction between eggs and they.

I hate snotty eggs as they make me feel sick.

Off topic. But what on earth is a snotty egg?
