    How do I tell if an egg is still good?

    Today, I found 2 white eggs on the ground inside the chicken run. I have one new young chicken that has just started laying. She is the only white egg layer. I have found some in the nesting box but today I found these in a corner of the chicken coup run. Don't know how I missed them before.
