Depends on what you mean by "shelf." Ours can last outdoors for a day or so, and this is in Florida. In 75 F or below, say two-three days.

How do you preserve chicken eggs?

Store eggs in a finely ground preservative such as salt, bran, or an equal mix of finely ground charcoal and dry bran or finely ground oats. You can store the eggs layer upon layer, so long as you they don't touch each other, metal, or wood. Store the eggs small side down in a covered container and keep in a cool, dry place. Eggs will keep "fresh" for up to 9 months.


How long before hens eggs go bad outside?

It really depends on the temperature and humidity outside. An egg laid in a nest and not incubated by the hen could theoretically still be edible three or four days later if the ambient temperature was below 50F and above 32F. It is always best to discard eggs suspected to be older than 48 hours uncollected. At the very least they should be candled and given the float test.


Are fresh eggs safe to eat if a rooster is present?

Yes you can. They won't taste any different. Just make sure you collect the eggs EVERY day. If the hen sits on yhe eggs or you live where it is hot and humid the 90+ degrees the eggs may start to incubate. This can be a nasty surprise when you crack an egg for that dish of scrambled eggs in the morning--if you missed some days in egg collection

Why egg do not remain fresh for a long period of time?

Because by the time it got to you, it could have been around for months, and it was poor quality to begin with thanks to the conditions the chickens are kept. If you want long-lasting eggs, go to the smallest farm you can and see if you can drop by once a week to buy fresh eggs from them. I keep chickens and their eggs are still good a month after we collect them.

What is an eggs shelf life?

The shelf life of eggs depends on proper handling and storage. If eggs are clean and kept refrigerated, they can last as long as 6 months. Many eggs in the store are at least a month old while sitting on the shelf. My experience shows that 6 and 7 month old eggs are still good when kept refrigerated. As eggs get older, the chance of finding a spoiled one will increase. They also become harder to crack open and sometimes the egg white and yolk can adhere to the inside of the shell. Nevertheless, they are still good to use. If you find an air pocket inside the shell that is the size of a dime, then the egg is likely one month old. When it becomes the size of a teaspoon, the egg is likely 4 to 6 months old. If you're going to store eggs for a long period, use foam egg cartons as the cardboard egg cartons tend to wick away moisture from the egg and this creates a large air pocket inside the shell.
