in the heat of the summer

[BeckyGaston]

How long can the eggs sit in the nest box on a summer day safely before they need to be discarded

 

[ChirpyChicks1]

I don't think there is a certain amount of time but I would gather at least once a day. You can do the float test

 

[enola]

I agree, I gather mine once a day, and have never had a bad egg in the kitchen

 

[BeckyGaston]

Float if fresh sink if old?

 

[enola]

You have it backwards, old eggs float, good eggs sink

Welcome to BYC. Daily gathering of the eggs should be sufficient.
