How long do duck eggs stay fresh? (unwashed)

I was wondering how long a duck egg will stay good unwashed/not in the fridge?

Its hard to say!! If collected when it was layed, put in a cool place---probably a few weeks. If left in the sun not very long.

If you are collecting to incubate---probably after a couple weeks its hatch % will start dropping pretty good. You turning them daily will help.

Thank you!! How long washed in fridge then?

I am no egg expert but if I was going to try to keep them for a long time----I would keep them in the fridge---unwashed, wash and eat the bad soiled ones first. Just my thoughts. Now What is your plan----you wanting to keep them to eat??

If they are really soiled, like pooped on soiled, then you need to wash them. If you keep the nestbox clean, that shouldnt be a problem. I rarely wash eggs
