how can you tell if its a bad egg?

[Coopedup:p]

i found a lot of eggs today and i was wondering sence they have been outside for who knows how long if they are bad.... how could i tell?

put them in a bowl of cold water, if they sink to the bottom they are alright to eat but if they float don't touch them.

Break them. Sinking and floating just tests the amount of gasses. Older eggs kept in low humidity will float even if they aren't technically bad. They may or may not taste the greatest but I've broken some very old eggs that were not rotten and had just evaporated all the whites. Some eggs kept in high humidity might be bad and not float.

Always break eggs in a seperate bowl from whatever your making or the other eggs in order to avoid a potentially bad one ruining the mix.

they have been out in the cold so would that determine weather they are still good or not?
