Kept in optimum conditions of cool (not refrigerated) and high humidity, you may collect and keep eggs for up to 7 days before hatch rate will decline. Some breeders will push for a 10 day period but risk a loss of viability.

Eggs should not be kept much longer than 45 days from the date of laying. On most store-bought eggs this date can be located on the product packaging. This date will be displayed either in some variation of the standard format, MMDDYYYY, or in the Julian format which gives a number between 1 and 365 to represent the date of collection, 1 for January 1st to 365 for December 31st.

Best before is a guideline only.

Stored properly an egg can last weeks after the best before date.

Test your old eggs. Place the questionable eggs in a large bowl of water. Fresh eggs will remain on the bottom of the bowl while older but still usable eggs may float small end up but remain on the bottom. Any egg that floats to the surface of the water is rotten and needs to be discarded (without breaking) Bad eggs have a very sulfurous smell and will stink up the house.

When still in doubt, crack your egg into a small bowl first before adding to a recipe or the frying pan. Very old eggs will not hold together (the whites will run like water) and the yolk will be off color.

Most store bought eggs have a best before date on the carton but 30 days is usual.

You do not need to throw out eggs older than that, just do a float test.

Put the eggs in a bowl of water and throw away any that float to the surface, boil up the rest and use for lunches etc.

It depends on if it's a fresh egg because if it is, as long as you don't refrigerate the egg it can be out for days. If it is bad the egg will float in water.
