I worked on an egg farm---we were told that our farm got theres there the fastest--which was 9-10 days--they went into a fridge and when they had a certain amount they were delivered---some are as old as 4 weeks
The majority of eggs here are on shelves within 48 hours of being laid. The date on them can be no more than 28 days after being laid... I've always thought that chickens were pretty intelligent to work out 28 days from a certain day and then stamp the date on their eggs!

This morning one of the eggs had several small reddish brown specks as I was dropping them in to a bowl to mix up.
What are those? I tried to get them out. Since I was on egg four, I used them anyway.

What is the red spot I can see in the yolk?
This is most likely to be what is called a ‘blood spot’, which comes from a ruptured blood vessel. It is relatively common and quite safe to eat.
What is the brown spot I can see in the yolk?
This is likely to be a ‘meat spot’, which is caused by tiny pieces of the reproductive systems being caught in the production of an egg. Meat spots are usually, but not always, brown. It is relatively common and quite safe to eat.

Status: offline 		Yep, what agapetos said.

Eggs produced for supermarkets are usually "candled" before packing - stuck in a machine with a bright light so that the packer can see through the egg - and any eggs with spots are discarded (totally UNnecessarily) because usual townie customer freaks out over them and it puts them off. When you cook them, the spots disappear anyway.

Eggs? When we go to Costco. Pizza, a Hot Dog, toilet paper, toss out plates, eggs, and some frozen chicken products with sauce on em, get some gas and go home. Life is exciting in California.

That is awesome Thanks for posting it!!!!

We got to go visit a friend from here on the forums this past weekend, and she has chickens. So my kids LOVED getting the eggs. Also her parents have two chicken houses that get up to 20,000 eggs a day and then those go to Tyson to become the chicken in the supermarket. So they loved getting to see how that worked and run the conveyors and place the eggs into the holders. They learned a lot...such as, the eggs have to be small side down or they won't hatch. So they had to be careful how they put the eggs into the holders. My kids have decided that we want chickens...lol. If only we had the land to do so, and if only we weren't military and have to move so often. I would LOVE to have some...lol. Maybe one day!!

I used to love to help my aunt do her eggs. I wasn't much on going in the chicken house to gather them, but I liked to help sort them. She had one of those balance scales that showed which size they were. For some reason, I liked weighing them and putting them in the proper boxes.

She went into the coop to gather the eggs. The chickens had nests made out of wood. What she found was a snake. The snake had crawled into a nest and swallowed an egg whole.

Then it crawled into the next nest through a knot-hole in the wood. Then, it swallowed another egg whole. There was where she found the snake, stuck in the knot hole with an egg on either side.

Not the smartest snake.
