It depends on the age of the egg. An older egg is likely to float as the air bubble in the egg hows larger as the egg dries out. This used to be a test for separating fresh from old eggs in general stores. Even a fresh egg (even though it doesn't float) will orient itself bubble end up in a pan of water.

Why does an egg flout or sink in water?
An egg will float in water if it is old, as air enters the shell over time, increasing buoyancy. A fresh egg will sink in water due to its higher density. If the egg stands on one end at the bottom of the water glass, it is still safe to eat.
How do you make an egg sink?

Why is my egg floating in water?
Your egg is floating in water because it is less dense than the water. This means that the egg is lighter than the water, causing it to float instead of sink.
Does eggs float better on salt water or fresh water?
Eggs will float better in saltwater because the salt makes the water denser, causing the egg to float more easily. In freshwater, the egg may sink or not float as readily due to the lower density of the water.

How do you know the egg will sink and water will float?
Normaly if an egg floats it is bad and should be discarded. As the egg ages air pockets enter the egg, that's why they float. A change in buoyancy. If the egg is more dense then the water (or whatever liquid it is in), it will sink.
Will an egg float in salt or fresh water?
An egg will float in salt water because the salt makes it denser and allows the egg to stay near the surface. But in regular water it will sink straight to the bottom.
Why does an egg sink in water but float in salt water?

Does an egg sink or float when placed in water as a test to determine its freshness?
An egg that sinks in water is fresh, while an egg that floats is not fresh.
What happens when you put an egg in tap water?
When you put an egg in tap water, it will sink to the bottom if it is fresh. Fresh eggs have denser contents, causing them to sink. If it floats, it is an indication that the egg is not as fresh and has probably started to spoil.
What happens if an egg is immersed in salt water?
If the egg is good and not spoiled it will sink down. If the egg is spoiled it will float up.
