Eggs in texas

[Quackland57]

Our chicken has been sneaking into a corner and laying. They are all from the last 7 days. My question is, are they still ok to bring in and eat or should we toss them? It's been 100 or higher here. It's texas! Lol thank you!

It's up to you, but if they were mine I'd candle them to make sure you don't see anything funky, then water test them. If they lay flat in the water, or nearly flat I'd personally have no issues with them. I'd toss any that are standing straight up or floating, or have any specs that you can see when candling.

And as always, if there's a doubt, just throw it out.

Thank you! That's what we will do!!

All float testing does is tell you how old the eggs are (because of the size of the air cell), and you already know that.

I don't know how confident I'd feel eating them myself if it's that hot out... I'd probably feed them to my dogs.
