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...

give 'em the water, first i think it will help flush them out, secondly in the heat we've been having you could end up with chicken jerky!!! no seriously, i would give them the water, it will help flush the crop and intestines, kinda of like we do for folks before a colonoscopy. dave
