Good afternoon Pat! I woke up to more snow, it came through the night about 2 or 3 cm. Itβs melting slowly, the deck still has snow on it but I think by this evening itβll be back to what we had yesterday.
Your egg question - fresh farm eggs do not need to be refrigerated as long as they are not washed in any way including any moisture from the nest or run. The natural bloom on the egg from the ovum protects the internal working of the egg and will keep it fresh for weeks, up to 2 months. Store bought eggs have been cleaned, sometimes with a chemical detergent to safeguard from salmonella, campylobacter, E. coli and listeria which can be present in chicken poo. Because they have been washed, they should be kept refrigerated as the shell no longer has the bloom and is very porous so will absorb contaminants from anything that it comes in contact with.
I hope that clears it up for you.
