I'm still new to keeping chickens. I have 5 and they are laying very well. I couldn't find the answer to my specific question online.
Today we came home from work (about 4:45 pm) and there were 4 eggs in the nesting box. One of our hens was sitting on 2 of the 4 eggs. I don't know what time the eggs were laid today, or how long she was sitting on them. If they have been "warmed" by hen for part of the day, are they still safe to eat? The outside temp was in the mid 60s today.
Thanks for helping me learn!
