How long do chicken eggs stay fresh in the coop?
Eggs that you buy from the store will not stay fresh for long without refrigeration. Eggs that come right from the chicken can kept at room temperature for weeks. Store bought eggs should be refrigerated within a few hours of buying them just to be safe.
If you put eggs in water to test if they are rotten is it if they float or sink they are bad?
To test an egg for freshness, place it in a container of cold water. Some eggs that are not fresh but are still good will raise up a little on one end or even stand up on one end. The eggs that are bad will float all the way off the bottom of the container, will not touch the bottom and should not be used.
Lifetime of eggs in normal condition if not hatched?
three weeks another view Eggs in the shell store quite well for long periods of time in the refrigerator without spoiling. They have good natural defence systems as long as they are clean and uncracked. The easiest way to maintain store bought eggs at high quality is to store them in cartons in the refrigerator as soon as possible after they are laid. Clean eggs, free of visible defects of the shell and contents, will then remain at high quality for up to two months and will still be as 'fresh' as eggs stored for seven days at room temperature. They can be stored for longer periods but the quality will begin to deteriorate noticeably. Farm fresh eggs can be held in cold conditions for about a month longer (three months). Where it is difficult to refrigerate eggs a coating of oil may be applied to help preserve them. although on its own this is not as effective as refrigeration, it does slow down the loss of quality of the egg and if the eggs are then stored in a cool place you should obtain about three weeks of high quality life. A quick test for freshness is to check if the raw egg in the shell sinks in a basin of water. Fresh eggs stay at the bottom of the bowl while stale eggs stand on end or float because of the large air cell.
Eggs should be stored with which end up when collecting for hatch?
Fertilized eggs that will be used to hatch should be stored with the large end UP. They should also be turned once per day during collection.
Where is the best place to store fertile eggs before you put them in an incubator?

Why are eggs stored in a carton with their pointed end down?
Eggs can be packed more efficiently with their ends pointed up - the egg cartons would have to be larger, otherwise. However, if you prefer to store them in some other position, you are free to do so. Eggs don't really care.
How do you store eggs in the refrigerator?
It is best NOT to store eggs in the refrigerator: they are best kept in a cool dark place, like a cupboard away from heat-sources. If you live in a warm place (like a hot country or a centrally-heated apartment) and your only storage option is the fridge, keep the eggs in the door-shelf-space in one of those little racks that come with the fridge, making sure the eggs are pointed-end-DOWN (there's an air-space in the rounded end of the egg, which must be at the top to maintain freshness) ...... and always allow the eggs to reach room temperature (about 15 minutes should do) before cooking them or using in any recipe.

Why do you put eggs in a basin full of water to know if it is fresh or old?
Because - the boiled egg will be solid inside - and will stop if you touch (and release) it while it's spinning. The raw egg will carry on spinning after you take your finger off it - as the fluid inside keeps moving.
Should you collect eggs soon after the hen lays?
Hens generally lay only during daylight hours. Eggs should be collected in the afternoon, or at least at the end of the day, before darkness sets in. Otherwise the hens will sleep on the eggs and they are more likely to be broken.
