[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 431221, member: 3306"] I gather eggs every other day when I am working. My hens are afternoon layers. Every now and again you find a clutch you don't know what's up with, so I do the float test. Get some room temp water in a bowl and put the egg in the water. If it stays on the bottem, it's fresh. If it floats a little on one end, not lifting the egg off the bottem of the bowl, it's [i]okay[/i]. If it floats entirely, it's old. That air cell on the blunt end gets bigger as the egg ages.
