xsoggyx Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 This is a TOTAL NEWBIE QUESTION so applogies all round. Not sure who but one of my girls has a bit of an egg production line going on. As I have a heart condition I cant have too many eggs but I was wondering HOW LONG CAN I KEEP THEM before I should throw them? Obviously it will be some time before I have to throw an egg as I have pre orders from family, friends and even the window cleaner.

Martin B Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Supermarkets recon 4 weeks! I keep mine for about 3 at most. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arowland17 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 my chicken book says 3-4 weeks kept at room temperature and put them in water before if unsure and they'll float if bad - we write the date they were laid on them in pencil so we know their age but they don't last long!

xsoggyx Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 I was thinking about 3 weeks and writting the date as well as the manufacturer as well but by the time I have done all that I might just eat it and be done with it Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Tres Pollos Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 If your worried about eating eggs with a heart condition try looking at these sites for some reassuring advice, well they help me justify what I eat. http://www.britegg.co.uk (under nutrition) http://www.nutritionandeggs.co.uk/ The first one also has videos of the classic Tony Hancock 'Go to work on an egg' TV adverts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
