I used to get eggs fresh from a lady at work. Two dozen for a few dollars. A lot cheaper then the grocery store. Until my wife got two bad eggs in a dozen and she said no more. Strangely she wants chickens for the eggs if we ever get some property.Back when I still lived on our farm , we gathered frsh eggs every morning . We left them out until other family members picked up what the wanted of them and put the rest in the fridge .
When we used Fresh eggs from our hens , when ever we went to eat them we always craked them in a seperate bowl before they went into the pan or recipe mix , so if it was bad then you could just dump it in the trash . You could be mixing a bowl full for scabbled eggs or cake mix or what have you and crack one into the mix that had blood/baby chick in it or is just rotten and it would be a waste to the entire batch .I used to get eggs fresh from a lady at work.
