Hi I am new to raising chickens. I work 2 jobs and only have weekends off so my question is when my chicks start to lay eggs how long can the eggs stay in the coop without going bad in this Las Vegas brutal heat. They are 7 weeks old and I believe they would be ready to lay eggs around summer time. Do these eggs go bad? should I eat them? or what can I do?
I would collect once a day when you check their food and water. I usually grab them at the end of the day when I close up for the night unless I'm around more I'll grab them throughout the day.
