how long after a chicken lays an egg is it good
I raise chickens. The eggs are good to eat the moment they are laid. The eggs you get from stores are usually at least two weeks old, so as long as they're refrigerated, fresh eggs are safe for at least a couple of weeks.BACA PitBull Â· 4 years ago.ggs last well for a long, long time. Most of the people I know check for eggs once a day-so an egg could conceivably sit in the nest box for 23 hours before being collected. We buy country eggs from the amish (no electricity) and we have no electric either-the eggs sit out at ambient temperature until we eat them.
