    we rarely leave eggs out, have heard the same 1 day = 1week, however in the winter we usually leave a few on the counter because we eat gumbo at least once a week and you just gotta have potato salad with it, and the eggs peel so much easier if left out for a couple of days. in fact i leave them...

    i've tried broilers in the past, tried the cornish x and had the worst luck, chicks died very easily, and the end results were not up to size (i used 20% grower for them) then last year i got some red rangers and johnny greys from s and g poultry, talk about a difference, only lost 2 out of 40...
