Eggs straight from the hen have a biological coating called a bloom.Store bought eggs have the bloom scrubbed off.This is done when removing the occasional chicken poop.Purely so you buy a nice clean egg.The bloom alone will keep most eggs for a couple weeks without refrigeration.Eggs that get a section of bloom removed by bedding or the hen,frequently spoil.Eggs placed in line slurry are kept from having contact with airborne bacteria.I a cool environment,they have been known to last a year.
I’m the UK this is how we buy them. Eggs are not kept in fridges here. The eggs I bought today have bits of feather stuck to them still.
They can be used for several weeks after buying. Check if they’re still good by dropping them in water. Bad eggs will float.
Homestead in US.Our duck eggs last a month,chickens about weeks,but old birds,may need to increase their.calcium.
Here in Greece I buy local eggs with shit and feathers. I don't refrigerate them. They are OK for at least a month in summer - longer in winter.
Cool,do you store them in any particular manner?
Yup.We pickle them and also lime egg wash store them.Hope to complete root cellar this summer.Lime is the cheapest way I've found.
Okay, I'm not quite getting this - do you keep them in water that has lime added? Or put them in the lime water, remove, let the dry, and store at room temp?
Leave them in
You mix the lime into water until the water is saturated.Submerge the eggs and leave them so.
