Eggquisite Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I apologize if this is a silly question but.... How many days would be a safe time to still eat the chook egg from the day of it being laid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Personally I would be happy to eat one after three or four weeks but thats about my limit, I don't know what the official line is on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjp Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I read some were that it's 21 days but that could be an urban mith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I thought it was 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gongladosh Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hiya, EU law says 28 days from day of laying. The British Lion Mark is a little stricter at 21 days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I wish ours would last that long before being eaten! Maximum is about 3 days before they are eaten, used in cooking or given to family and friends who want to try some real fresh eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogprincess Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Don't eat them if they float in a glass of water (it's OK if they sit upright at the bottom of the glass). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
