refrigerating eggs

How long can we safely keep fresh eggs out of the refrigerator ? And once they are put in the refrig. how long will they be good ?

I've been storing my surplus eggs in an unheated room in chilly NY. They can stay well for a good while , 6 weeks or better in a cold enough place, under 38 degrees...? Any warmer then 38 degrees, i'd use the refrig. I try to move my eggs as soon as i can,but sometimes you have to hold some from lack of demand.. kept cool enough,they'll last a good while...Of course i'm no expert, i'm speaking from my personal experience,and i'd also love to hear from more experienced persons...

I'd guess a few months, if you think about how old the store bought eggs are (about 6 months) I would think fresh eggs would be good at least half that time if not longer JMO !!

Think about what you are saying .


Stores that buy eggs actually get rid of most eggs either daily or within a couple of days ....


6 months ? hmmmm remind me NOT to eat eggs at your house .

Uhmmm, if you do a seach on store bought eggs you will find that they CAN be up to 6 months old (not saying all are but they can be). I dont need to think about it, thats why I dont eat them. Also I dont buy store bought eggs, I know my eggs are fresh... So dont you worry about eating bad eggs at my house !!

Hey now , I asked a SIMPLE QUESTION ....

How long can you safely keep FRESH eggs OUT of the refrig. That question had nothing to do with store bought eggs , which those chickens are fed steriods, etc. . YES , we all know our eggs are fresh and what we have feed our chickens ... BUT , still have the question on HOW long we can safely keep them eggs
NON refrigerated . PLUS how long are they good once in refrig.

Mother Earth News did a study on various methods of egg storage. Refrigerated eggs, unwashed so they still had the bloom on, where still good at 6 months. That was the method that retained the best eating quality, for the longest time.

For the best flavor with a sunny side up egg, I'd use them a little sooner.

Wasnt trying to be funny! You certainly havent done much research on the commercial egg business though. I dare say that if the eggs you are buying in a supermarket are fresh, YOU are the exception rather than the rule. Interesting to see the number of people that have the same experience with supermarket eggs that you do!
