We got hit with hurricane helen and we still have no electric, just got phone service today actually. We now have a small generator for the fridge and I’m wondering if the week old eggs my chickens laid are still good. I didn’t wash em I just put them in an egg carton. They were in the fridge with no power for 15 hours.
 
I'm sure they're fine. The biggest concern is washed eggs. But aside from that drastic changes in temperature is what could cause a problem, because if they get warm quickly they can gather condensation, and then that can be absorbed into the egg, dragging bacteria in with it. But if they stayed in the fridge they'd have warmed up slowly and not had condensation.
