gotcha' ok
now, i USED to be able to eat eaggs, until the last pregnancy. that's my assumption
but after trying them a few times i found that store bought eggs make me nauseated and pukey
i haven't dared tried the eggs from my neighbor, he keeps giving them to me, but he keeps giving me eggs that have sat for a minute, so i usually toss them at my neighbors fence.
how do you check your eggs? well, grab a container that will allow the egg to rise (if bad)
put warm water (this will help with another step)
add egg: if it lays down it's very fresh. if it starts to stand on end it's time to get to using. if it floats, throw away, or use for ICE vehicles.
since the egg is in water, you can additionally clean the egg. don't trust the producer/grocery to clean your stuff.
personally, with you being in the country, go find you a country girl that sells eggs.
