to eat: if you take the egg the day it is layed, YOU CAN KEEP IT UP TO 6 WEEKS. not many people know this, because when an egg is layed in a hen farm it takes 3 weeks for it to arrive on the shelves in the supermarket, then after that (if you keep it cool) you can keep it for another 3 weeks.

How do you know that a chicken egg is fertile without breaking it?

When its just fresh there's no telling. After the hen has been sitting on it or has been in an incubator you can tell be holding it against a bright light (you can see blood veins in the egg) or put it in water; a fertilized egg will float, and a non fertilized egg will sick. A spoiled/ rotten egg will float as well, but it will be quiet old when that happens.
