Yup, bird flu moment. I'm very glad my family put up a chicken coop in our backyard years ago; we get a ~carton a day, and they last forever even outside the fridge due to the natural "sealant" still being intact.

Hopefully store prices will come down as the year goes on and flocks bounce back.

The commercial eggs also last forever outside the fridge. That thing about the natural sealant is a widely believed myth.

Source: I leave my commercial eggs outside the fridge, and they last with zero problems.

I don't think it's a myth compared to unwashed eggs.

You should try leaving washed eggs out on the counter for 20+ days (incubation for a chicken) and see.

Are you implying that these eggs would incubate chicks? Or are you using the incubation time as a sort of natural timer? Like they would last that long if they were unwashed, but washed eggs wouldn't last even the incubation period.
