How to tell whether these are good

[wetzelbuilt]

So I was out looking for .y white leghorn and came Across these. I have 6 new chicken that just started laying . I have no idea how long these eggs have been here. Is there a way to tell if they are still good?

I did the sink float test and they all all sank

If they passed the sink/float test, I would eat them!

If they're on the bottom of the container laying horizontally on it's side, your eggs are most likely fresh.

Floating an egg will only tell you how old it might be.
They float due to evaporation when older.
It will not tell you if an egg is 'good' or 'bad'.
Plus then you've wetted the egg so it should be thoroughly washed and refrigerated.

When in doubt....
Open eggs one at a time in a separate dish before adding to pan or recipe,
use your eyes, nose, and common sense to decide if egg is OK to eat.
