Would you eat these eggs?

[Larrickchick]

This morning I found 6 eggs outside the coop. My girls had been on "lock down" in their coop because they free range and they just started laying the beginning of November. I wanted them to learn to lay in the nest boxes. They were doing good so last week I let them out. I know these eggs are less than a week old. I assume they are still edible but its been in the 20s some nights.

I have found eggs in the run when my youngsters first started to lay. I put them in a separate egg box marked "run eggs" then kept them for home use, breaking them into a separate bowl before use. Mine were all edible but you will know by the look and smell if they have been hanging around for a long time or have been affected by the weather.

I candled them and didn't see anything off. They are in the fridge in a separate carton and Ill try them for breakfast in the morning.

See if the float in water but if they're a week old, they're probably fine.
