The business of floating eggs is a fascinating subject, shown by the fact that 5 years after the thread was started it continues. So I'm going to add to it.
I've had chickens for a number of years now, and presently have 6. 2 of them are marans, at least one of these lays the occasional good egg that float. Some of the don't just float, they bob high in the water like bouys. These eggs are no more than a few days old, and are perfectly edible. The shell is a slightly different texture and a slightly lighter shade than their normal eggs. You can feel that it's going to be a floater. The white is very thick and gloopy.
Discuss!!
