Hard to tell if you do not collect daily. Any suspect eggs should be given the "float" test. Floating eggs are bad/stale/unusable. If the eggs are for your own use just crack them in a bowl first and check that they are good.

Will fresh eggs float in fresh water?

I just had this happen to me and looked it up on an egg site. Floaters are older eggs and can be cracked open to determine if they are edible (no stench-you will know!). They float because of an increase in the carbon dioxide inside the shell as it ages. But it is better to be safe. So if you are hard-boiling, throw it out. If you are cooking eggs, you won't know it's a floater, but you're opening it anyway. Also, in making pan eggs, crack the egg into a container, not directly into the pan. If you have a bad egg hit a hot pan, the house stink is unbelievable; it happened to me once.


What's the difference between a chicken egg and a duck egg?

Well, ducks hatch from duck eggs and chickens... You already know that. We have ducks and chickens and get eggs from both. Duck eggs are a bit larger and have harder shells. They tend to be off-white where as chicken eggs are white, green, blue, and brown. In baking and cooking, duck eggs are a better consistency and lead to a superior product. Cakes will have a richer texture and retain moisture better. When eating them straight, such as scrambled, duck eggs have a stronger flavor which some people that are used to chicken eggs may not care for.


Is a chicken a sexual reproduction?

Yes, chickens reproduce sexually. Male chickens, known as roosters, fertilize the eggs laid by female chickens, known as hens. The fertilized eggs develop into new chicks through the process of sexual reproduction.


Colors of eggs from chickens?

An individual chicken does not change its egg colors. I have raised many different hens all with different egg colors. I have heard that there are chickens that lay pink eggs but that has never been confirmed by anyone i know. Here is a list of the egg shell colors available (that i am sure exist) Pearl white Creamy white Pale brown Brown Dark brown Pastel green Light blue Light green

In a group of chicken eggs how do you know which are fresh and which are old?

To check the difference between a fresh and a spoilt chicken egg , you first need to do the following steps : 1) Put the egg in some water . 2) Heat it for about 2minutes or more , but remember ! not to let the water boil . If the egg floats on the water it is fresh , while if it sinks down it is a spoilt (old) one.
