Response to How long can eggs be kept?

When I was on the farm growing up, we always kept chickens to have some money from eggs. In reading some old diaries, I have found that at time we sold over 80 dozen per week. They were picked up once a week by a produce company. The eggs were never refrigerated summer or winter, but kept in a cool dark hallway in the house. Mother Earth News did an egg test some years back, and they determined that eggs could still be eaten after 6 months. Well, that is if you could stomach the look and texture of them. Seems that they change considerably over that long of a period. I personally keep store purchased eggs for weeks at a time and am still here to tell about it.
