Answering a couple common questions about farm fresh eggs.

[paulalee]

Fresh Eggs last up to 5 months in the refrigerator and 2 months unwashed on countertop. I usually keep mine on counter top because we eat them way before a month is even up.

We have always put the pointed end down in the carton. (Not sure why—something to do with the air sac.) We once read that the eggs you buy at the store can be up to 2 months old and still be labeled “Fresh”.

Thanks so much. I was out of town and did not know how long the eggs had been in the fridge, Now I will have a better idea due to the testing with water.

I have heard that unwashed eggs will last 2 months on your counter top. Once they're washers when you cut down on their longevity. I wash my hen eggs with a dish cloth like I'm washing dishes. I usually don't wash them until the night before I'm going to deliver them. I don't know if an egg really last for 2 months, that's just what I've heard. My eggs sell almost as quick as I get them. Right now I have 6 Rhode Island Reds, 16 Buff Orphingtons, 5 miscellaneous breeds that free range, 7 roosters and 18 baby chicks(6 Rhode Island Reds and 12 White Leghorns). In February I'll be ordering 24 more baby chicks(6 Rhode Island Reds, 12 Barred Rocks and 6 Black Sex Links). I'll have 76 chickens when it's all said and done. I will be using my roosters for breeding so I won't have to but anymore chicks. I hope to be able to sell baby chicks. I saw your new barn in the back ground. I really love it. Keep these videos coming.

Hi. I noticed that you put the eggs into the carton any which way. The pointed end always goes down with the air space or top side up. Also, the University of N.H. food booklet says that for every hour left out at room temperature the egg is equal to one day old. I’ve raised birds hens, ducks, geese, turkeys for years and discovered that the colder they are the longer they last. The birds can hatch out perfectly fine chicks from eggs that are four or five months old as long as they are kept in the high thirty degree range. If you investigate the large commercial egg farms you’ll discover that they do the same, keeping eggs for many months so that they always have products.

Beautiful presentation and I enjoyed seeing your chicken environment! I was surprised to see you loading the egg carton w/the pointed end UP. I was told to always place the pointed end DOWN so that the air sac, which is in the Blount End, can stay on top to prevent bacteria etc from entering the shell.

Beautiful! Picture perfect farm. Thanks for the info.

Thank You for the info, I was given 5 dozen eggs today and wasn't sure how to check if they were still good.

I read when storing eggs, to have narrow end down. The reason is that it has an air pocket and will spoil. I also, heard this Homesteading Family " how to handle farm fresh eggs"

[MarleneduPlessis]

In Africa you keep them in the fridge! 36 degrees in Summer here and Winters aren't that much cooler either. 😀

[hanzketchup]

Thanks for the video, I didn’t know any of that.

I only use dawn if they are really bad. I keep the eggs in the fridge out of habit and because i dont know how long eggs will last because I don't know how old they were to begin with but seldom find a bad one. I figure they will break easier when old

[regdmsf]

We have put unwashed fresh eggs in the frig, can they be left out once they have been in the frig?

[joyadams]

What do you use for bedding in your run? You set up is amazing!

[jessicagee]

It's summer time coming. Is it still safe to keep eggs on the counter- unwashed of course, with NO air conditioning to keep any kind of regulated temperature? How warm would be too warm?

[Mike-ysqu]

If I have an unwashed egg do i have to wash it before I crack it open

[FrankHeil-hukg]

I put my farm fresh eggs in the fridge not washed. Can i wash them when i get them out of the fridge then cook them?

[theresachambers]

In the winter when it cold out and you gather eggs do they have to go to the fridge since they are already cold or can they still set out
