Fill a bowl with water, and put the questionable egg in. If it sinks, the egg is still good. If it rises a bit, you'd better use it soon. If it floats, it's too old. And always, when it doubt, throw it out.

Thank you for this! I was just wondering about this the other day. My chickens are starting to produce better all of a sudden and the store bought eggs I had in the fridge are a few days past the "sell by" date. I was wondering how to know if I could still eat them. I'll give this trick a try!

Colleen, you are welcome. Our chickens have picked up production as well, since the days are getting longer. So,, I had the girls test all the eggs we had in the fridge yesterday. It's kind of fun for the kids to do. Leave a Reply. | If you like our blog and would like to help support what we do, please feel free to donate any amount to help keep us going!

 The Enclyclopedia of Country Living is one of THE best homesteading books I have ever purchased, and I still refer to it often.
