Greetings,
So we put up an egg stand 2 weeks ago (finally got it done) and it's been pretty warm for winter in PA zone 7b and barely dips below freezing...until now.
This week is suppsoed to be really really cold. We have 2 more months of winter to go and was hoping to keep my nice new upcycled egg shack running? Maybe? Theres a stand up cooler I keep the unwashed eggs in, in the egg stand, but its going to be between 14 and 24 degrees at night for the next 10 days. Will the cooler stay warmer than outside and prevent my eggs from freezing? Or should I be bringing them in at night or when the temp gets below 30 degrees?
(Someone had an old firewood holder and the bottom was rotted on marketplace for free. Guys picked it up, ripped off front n bottom, put front on top for a roof eith a piece of metal and out a few cross beams around the middle, so theres sides blocking the wind around the cooler)
If they arent cracked does that mean they didn't freeze? What happens if they partially or fully freeze and dont crack? Are they still safe to eat? Should I just give up for now until Spring 1st(March 20th)? I need advice, info and help!
