How do you preserve chicken eggs?
Store eggs in a finely ground preservative such as salt, bran, or an equal mix of finely ground charcoal and dry bran or finely ground oats. You can store the eggs layer upon layer, so long as you they don't touch each other, metal, or wood. Store the eggs small side down in a covered container and keep in a cool, dry place. Eggs will keep "fresh" for up to 9 months.
How long does it take for a hen egg to go bad after being laid?
If the temperature is 80F or better it would be best to collect the eggs within 24 hours or sooner. Some cultures will sell unrefrigerated "fresh eggs" up to a week after laying however in North America health standards dictate the eggs must be collected and refrigerated within a 24 hour period. As for going bad, changes can take place within the egg as soon as 36 hours. With high temperatures and humidity the egg could be unusable for eating that soon. In moderate temperatures under 75F I have used eggs collected up to 48 hours later with no problem but only for farm use, not for sale to the public.

What are barn eggs?
Barn eggs are a term used for eggs found outside the regular nesting boxes and often cannot be determined how long ago they were laid by the hen. Some farms allow the hens to "free range" inside the barn on a farm where they are relatively protected from predators and sheltered from inclement weather. Most hens will lay their eggs in nesting boxes but sometime they will lay the egg in any old pile of hay or straw and are often not found for days or weeks after.

Why egg do not remain fresh for a long period of time?
Because by the time it got to you, it could have been around for months, and it was poor quality to begin with thanks to the conditions the chickens are kept. If you want long-lasting eggs, go to the smallest farm you can and see if you can drop by once a week to buy fresh eggs from them. I keep chickens and their eggs are still good a month after we collect them.

What is an eggs shelf life?
The shelf life of eggs depends on proper handling and storage. If eggs are clean and kept refrigerated, they can last as long as 6 months. Many eggs in the store are at least a month old while sitting on the shelf. My experience shows that 6 and 7 month old eggs are still good when kept refrigerated. As eggs get older, the chance of finding a spoiled one will increase. They also become harder to crack open and sometimes the egg white and yolk can adhere to the inside of the shell. Nevertheless, they are still good to use. If you find an air pocket inside the shell that is the size of a dime, then the egg is likely one month old. When it becomes the size of a teaspoon, the egg is likely 4 to 6 months old. If you're going to store eggs for a long period, use foam egg cartons as the cardboard egg cartons tend to wick away moisture from the egg and this creates a large air pocket inside the shell.

What is the approximate average age of an egg on the supermarket shelf?
Eggs that are purchased at most stores are delivered to the store when they are only 4 to 5 days old. The average egg has a 21 day shelf life after it arrives at the store. This is true even with Curb Stores and " Mom And Pop's". Eggs are good for about 30 days after laying as long as they are kept between 36 and 40 degrees. When in doubt, just remember that "the NOSE noes". If the eggs are no good, you will be able to tell with a sniff or two.
