You can float test them in a bowl of water... good/fresh eggs sink and lay on their sides, older eggs (but still edible) will also sink but stand with one end up (usually the large end), and bad eggs will completely float. BUT sometimes they aren't always bad if they float, it can just mean they are a little older and have a larger air cell than the rest... and can still be edible. Sometimes they can be rotten tho (possibly cracked or just really old), so I always crack my eggs in a bowl first and check them out for being off-color, milky or too runny etc, and I also give them the sniff test before I cook them.We have had some warm days recently, is there a way to tell the good eggs from the bad. I really have my hands full with the nine guineas, I don't plan to hatch more right now. Last year I marked several eggs and left them in the nest, and took the rest, I guess I should do that also. It's a bad spot if someone decides to sit on the nest, lots of pine trees down, limbs and such. They would be a target for anyone. I'm surprised the skunk I have been smelling in the mornings hasn't gotten the eggs......
