I am pretty sure that you smell them but not completely. There are probably loads of ways to tell but that's how I tell

Put an egg (raw and still in the shell) into a bowl of cold water. If it sinks it's good, but if it floats it's gone off.

Firstly, fill a fairly deep bowl with water and carefully lower the egg into the water.

A very fresh egg will immediately sink to the bottom and lie flat on its side. This is because the air cell within the egg is very small. The egg should also feel quite heavy.

As the egg starts to lose its freshness and more air enters the egg, it will begin to float and stand upright. The smaller end will lie on the bottom of the bowl, whilst the broader end will point towards the surface. The egg will still be good enough to consume, however, if the egg fully floats in the water and does not touch the bottom of the bowl at all, it should be discarded, as it will most likely be bad.

The way you can test to see that eggs are still good is by getting a bowl or jar. Fill it with cold water. Now, put each egg in one by one. If the egg floats to the top of the jar, it is bad. If it sinks to the bottom, it should be good.
