Haha! Well, my kids were nervous, too! I float-tested them for freshness and then cracked each one in a tiny bowl first to see if each was OK.

Didn't want feathers in our omelet. Yikes!

I was always told you can leave fresh eggs (just laid) on the counter for a week and be OK. After a couple of days, I do put them in the fridge. But those are eggs that were never incubated.

I'm not sure I would have eaten them. They might not have feathers yet, but the could be slightly developed. Then again, Filipinos and other Southern Asians eat half developed poultry eggs as delicacies.

i know in england they don't refriderate eggs at all, and they are fine for a few weeks(if just lay).
