High temperatures

How long are eggs good for left outside when it is over 100 degrees outside? I leave for work before my girls lay eggs and I don't get home until 5:30pm. They lay their eggs around noon every day. Are they still ok to eat after being left outside in 100+ degree heat for 4-6ish hours?

Yes. Refrigerate them as soon as you get home, and they should be fine for several weeks in the fridge.

A long time. Egg keeping safety is important. I didn't take any farmer's advice. Egg shells have unique disease preventing properties UNTIL you refrigerate or wash them. I suggest you google state or federal government guidelines to learn how to properly store your eggs. I personally don't refrigerate an unwashed egg. That drives bacteria into the egg through the porous shell. Here's one link, you might want to google further. https://foodsafety.wisc.edu/assets/pdf_Files/Egg_Safety_and_the_Backyard_Flock.pdf
