How do eggs stay fresh at room temperature?

I’m the same. I grew up on a family farm and collected eggs from our chickens and, at times, my grandparents’ chickens.

I like the convenience, though I can buy farm-fresh organic eggs (for the same price) from a farm just around the corner from me (by which I mean, about three miles away :laugh: ), but that’d mean an extra stop, and I’m usually not willing to do that, so I buy the brown supermarket eggs (almost always from Aldi).

My "work wife" raises chickens and often brings me fresh eggs as well. She's kind enough to even clean them off for me. 👍

That's what my wife calls her, anyway. We worked together years ago and became good friends (nothing salacious). In fact, my wife and I would often get together with her and husband. Then she moved on and eventually landed at another company where her husband worked. A few years ago, we all met at a local brew pub, where they recruited me to join their company. (My wife was also in on it.) Well, I did, and my wife couldn't be more thrilled that I work with my "work wife" again, for not the least of which reason is that she sends fresh eggs home with me. 🤣
 
Chook eggs inky tend to get dirty if the conditions in which they're kept are dirty as well.

The needing boxes are away from the roosting area and unless one has crapped in front of a nest box, and has it on her feet, eggs generally are not covered in shit or feathers in my experience (which I'll admit is only 9 years of raising them).

My blue egg layer is coming to the end of her laying life so we get "fart" eggs as they are so "wonderfully" described. We don't donate those, but we do use them ourselves. Sometimes they have a yolk, more often they don't. The spot on the darkest egg is actually part of the colouring that chook lays and not dirt. If any of the new chicks are girls, they'll lay white eggs.
