Are these eggs Ok?

[Want Less]

Today I found a hidden nest under some branches that our hens have apparently been laying in. ( found it because one if our more vocal layers was singing her head off over there so I went to investigate) There were 7 eggs. Three were very dirty and partially buried so I threw those away. The other four are clean and lay flat in the bottom if a bowl of water. Since they pass the water test, is there anything I should worry about?

I found 8 yesterday, some of them were discolored, like stained from the leaves and dirt they were laying on. Did the float test and all passed (I didn't think they were over 2-3 days old because of egg count from the nests). I did break them into a container before adding to my batter this am and they were fine. So far I have never heard of the float test failing.

I'd use them.

they're probably fine. crack each one in a bowl before adding to the final product in case one is bad
