Do you keep eggs that were in freezing temps?

[troyak]

If they froze, the yolks are very different. cloudy and more solid. No way to tell for sure until you crack it open. We provide eggs to friends and family, if there is a chance that an egg may have frozen, or is very dirty, we save those for ourselves as we don't want others to think that our eggs are less than perfect, which of course all of them are.

I feel the egg and shake it a bit. As long as it's not damaged I am not too worried about it being potentially frozen and thawed, better partially frozen than left in the sun

Thanks! That makes sense

Same, if I have a cracked or especially dirty egg, I crack it and give it to my dog (or one of the cats). He loves them!

I only throw out potentially frozen eggs with visible cracks and eat the rest. Never had a problem.

That's good! It just finally dawned on me it seemed kind of silly. I figured most people didn't do that.

I put frozen eggs in the freezer and thaw them out when I need eggs that I would normally wisk for a recipe.
I don't like them fried or scrambled.
Even if they are showing cracks, which they usually do. Keeping them frozen suspends the bacteria also.

That’s smart!

If they are cracked I toss them. We don't eat eggs daily and I'd rather not have it thaw out in the fridge and make a mess. But It's only gotten cold enough to do that a handful of times. If they ain't cracked they go in the fridge no matter how cold or maybe frozen they might be. I've not collected eggs for a few days both in Winter and Summer and put them right in the fridge to eat. No issues.
