Can confirm. We (in US) have chickens and whenever we gift eggs to people they're astounded that they don't need to be refrigerated but also sometimes horrified that they aren't washed.

Granted, I keep the eggs that get poopy for myself so they don't get tossed out by an overly cautious person. I just rinse them immediately before use if they're very dirty. Occasionally one of the hens will have an "accident" and lay an egg in the dirt outside or on the coop floor. Otherwise they look generally like the pic above.

I've yet to have a rotten egg and at times we've gotten behind by over a month... Still good, sitting on the counter for a month.

Fun info, I'm currently eating through some "water glassed" eggs that I stored in May of 2023. Still good.

I have looked up "water glassed eggs" and while it does look interesting as a scientific experiment, I'm reasonably certain that you're a psychopath

[-] Talaraine@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Hahah yeah water glassing is kind of a throwback that helps keep them even through temp variations. We did an experiment back when we had a homestead a few years ago, where we cleaned any nasties if there were any and then dipped the eggs in oil and kept them in a cool room.

We came back every three months to try an egg. We ended the experiment at 2 years after which 25% of them began to float. The rest were still edible but the yolk wouldn't stay together when cracked.

[-] clif@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah, at ~8 months these are about 50/50 on whether the yolks hold together. Still taste fine though.

I decided to give it a try since in the spring/summer they were laying way more than we could keep up with ... But mostly because I thought it was interesting and wanted to try it :D
