I guess I should say egg because I only have one poult laying right now, I got home late from work last night and forgot to grab the egg out of the nesting box like I usually do in the evening when I get home. Is the egg still edible? When I picked it up this morning it was cool to the touch so the poult did not sit on it all night, she usually lays around 11-1 so the egg has been in there since that time yesterday. It was crazy hot yesterday though, heat index of 110 or so, does that make a difference to the egg? I know there are probably a ton of posts on here about this but I could not find any that specifically identified them as safe to eat.
If you are really worried about it you can do the float test. Put it in a pan of water if it floats not good, if it sinks you are fine.
It should be fine. I've done this before with no ill effects. You can always scramble it, shell & all, & feed it back to her. She'll love you for it! & she won't recognize it as the same thing she produces....
