[barngirlsrule]

how long can the eggs stay fresh once the hen has laid them? What Im trying to say is ... umm... (man i stink at words

) If i find an egg in my hens coop (they havent started laying yet) how can i know its fresh?
like when is the egg ready to eat, sell, ect. ? (sorry for the awful wording!

)

I just collect my eggs every day- but I also play seek and find every day

Hi..you collect the eggs daily...i collect twice a day (morning and night ). And you can eat them right away. Is that what you were asking?

You can collect like most folks do once a day, you can eat them right away.

How long will they be safe to eat??

I once picked up Groc. Store eggs that had an expiration date that was SIX WEEKS out! So, I would say that if you gather your eggs daily and refrigerate them at that time you could safely eat your eggs for a month. I would not sell eggs that were over a week old--but that is just me..

I don't know the answer, but I believe he is asking: how many days can the egg be outside, unrefridgerated and still be safe to eat?

That is what I was wondering also!!
