    How could I tell if an egg is still good?

    Well, my girls were hiding eggs on me! I found a stash of 17 eggs- no wonder I thought the egg count each day was a little low! They have been out in the coop, temps here have been between 40-70 degrees but the past two days it has gotten up to about 75-80. Should I just toss these eggs out...

I'm Grace- I live in New England with my husband and 1 year-old daughter, our dog (a pit bull), a barn cat, and 17 newly added hens. My family had hens when I was younger, and now that I'm living more...
