How can you tell if your eggs are off?

We knew the heat wave was going to be pretty full on. Thank you universe for the perfect excuse to head down the coast! Rad. We’d just renovated our chook’s home so we knew they’d be fine. But after a week of extreme heat and with the eggs sitting in the hutch the entire time, would the eggs still be ok? Thankfully I don’t have to wait until I need to use them to know if they’re off or not…

Eggs that have gone off float. Simple. So all I did was pop them in a deep bowl of water, throw away the floaters, and keep the sinkers. I only lost 2 eggs. Yeehaa! It’s amazing what eggs can go through and still be ok.
