How long are farm eggs good for?

The shelf life of farm eggs depends on a few factors, but here's a general guideline:

Refrigerated:

* Unwashed, fresh eggs: Up to 6 weeks

* Washed eggs: Up to 4-5 weeks

Room temperature:

* Unwashed, fresh eggs: 1-2 weeks

Here are some additional points to consider:

* Storage: Store eggs in the refrigerator with the pointed end down. This helps keep the yolk centered and prevents it from drying out.

* Washing: Washing eggs can remove their protective bloom, which helps prevent bacteria from entering. If you buy washed eggs, use them sooner than unwashed eggs.

* Condition: Eggs should be free of cracks or other damage. If you see any signs of spoilage, such as a foul smell or a cloudy yolk, discard the egg.

How to tell if an egg is bad:

* Float test: Place the egg in a bowl of cold water. If it sinks to the bottom and lies flat, it's fresh. If it stands upright or floats, it's old and should be discarded.

* Smell test: Crack the egg into a bowl. If it smells bad, it's spoiled.

* Visual inspection: Look for a cloudy yolk, green or gray discoloration around the yolk, or any other signs of spoilage.

Note: These are just general guidelines. The best way to ensure your eggs are safe to eat is to use them within the recommended storage time and to check for any signs of spoilage.
