FYI: I am new to the chicken world 😉
It has been between 23 and 32 for the last 4 days and I have kept my 5 hens in the coop (it’s been raining/icing here). I did not check for eggs because they had not been able to go out and I have had the flu. Today I finally checked the boxes and was surprised to find so many eggs!!
My question is: The eggs have been in the coop for 4 days in freezing temps…. Can I still use the eggs? Won’t they be frozen?
Thanks for your help and answers!

It is my understanding that if they are not cracked and it didn't warm up fast enough to make them sweat (compromises bloom), they are likely safe to eat. Whites may be watery and yolks may break easily, but otherwise fine. This is from what I've read, very little freezing issue down here.
