I haven't read everything.

As a child I lived on a farm.
My morning and evening chores included feeding the hens and checking and collecting the eggs. Got that: 2x a day. Before school, before suppers.

That test of putting them in a pot of room temperature water is a good one.
Remember sailing boats coat eggs or store them in sawdust for voyages several months long.
