ElvisFan Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 We are going on holiday soon with a group, there will be 9 off us and we are sharing the food buying, naturally we have been charged with bringing the eggs, so if I get my girls on over time we will get two a day How long will they keep for, will they keep longer in the fridge, I think we are going to need about 30 to 35 eggs so the older ones will be a little over 2 weeks old ? Ours never make it to that old age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyChickenLover- Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I agree with Samiboo - write the date the egg was laid on it with pencil so that you know what order to eat them. You can check an egg for freshness by putting it in a tub of water. If it floats, don't eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I read that Eggs don't tend to end up on supermarket shelves until they are typically 9 days old, so I wouldn't worry at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
