egg collecting

[alli722]

Hi, I am sure these questions have been asked and answered many times but since I am new to this forum and to chickens I need to ask them again.
Is there a time limit as to how long after an egg is laid before you collect it? Do I need to refrigerate the eggs as soon as they are collected?

Thanks,
Allison

i think they are fine for a few days. I left mine alone for 3 days and they where still good

I think they are fine as long as the temp in the coop isnt way high, or if you dont have any broodys. Also sometimes if i dont get to mine in time the freeze.
