Egg freshness test-but thought you shouldn't wet eggs???

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I know you can test the freshness of an egg by placing it in a glass of water, but I thought you were not supposed to wet eggs? I have never washed eggs that are dirty as the shell is porous and will allow bacteria into the egg. So surely testing the freshness in this way might do the same and mean the egg is no longer safe to eat? Any ideas???

Eggs generally last for a month, so the best thing to do it mark the date on your eggs when they are laid with a pencil. And just if you find you have kept them for long enough or them to be nearly a month old you can do the freshness test right before you use them to be sure.

 

Welcome to the forum BTW. Hope your all having fun with your new chickens.
