So last night I clumsily knocked my egg container onto the floor, cracking two of the remaining four eggs. Not a huge deal since today would be the day for eating month three.
*side note* I think the petroleum jelly helped keep the shell together *
I threw the two eggs into the water for the float test and did not use an egg out of the fridge as a test. I didn't want to eat any eggs, let alone three eggs. Both eggs sunk to the bottom. One of the eggs had the slightest tendancy to stand on one in, but so slight you might not even notice. Certainly leds than the "fresh" eggd from the last two months. Also, one of the eggs didn't keep the yolk together when I cracked it open. I don't know if the shells being compromised caused the partial float and runny yolk.
I cooked them up and ate them. They both tasted fine. I've still got two eggs and two months to go.
Lastly, I have access to fresh, unwashed eggs from someone with some chickens in Boulder if I want. I didn't want them to know what I was doing with the eggs in case they freaked out about me sueing them if I got sick. However, they know the expirement I'm doing and WANT me to do it with their eggs to see how long their eggs will last compared to store bought.
