I know old timers that say refrigeration ruins eggs. They’d bury them in straw in the barn and use them all winter.
For a couple years we had chickens. Loved the fresh eggs we got every day. At one point we noticed that we weren’t getting as many eggs. Then we found out why...some chickens were laying eggs in and among the bales of hay we had in the barn for our horses. This was during the summer and it got pretty hot in the barn loft. We collected more than a hundred eggs there. Only one failed the float test. Those eggs were still really good to eat, and we figure some had been there for up to three months. Eggs last a long time, unrefrigerated and unwashed, even in temps that must have been around 100 degrees at times.
