does anyone here know if you have to keep eggs in the fridge...?
On a lighter note ............. not in Jamaica or other areas that do not wash eggs before selling them. The trade-off for beautifully spotless and bacteria-free eggs is that washing also removes a thin, filmy, protective outer layer called the cuticle. This cuticle is the magical natural shield that keeps bacteria out of an egg while letting oxygen circulate. Without a cuticle, eggs need to be kept cold—not for the product itself, but to discourage bacterial growth in and on it.
Here's what I found on the internet:
Fresh duck eggs keep for about 2 weeks if kept cool and for about 6 weeks once refrigerated. Fertile hatching eggs are fine for about 10 days and of course should be placed in an incubator as soon as possible once received.
Quail eggs should be stored in the carton and kept refrigerated at all times, below 40 F.
I'll be there in three weeks and plan to wash my hands and spend a ton of money on the local economy. It is what it is.
Supposedly if you dip them in mineral oil, they last at room temp indefinitely. Preppers gonna prep.
