	Does anyone know how long fresh eggs keep, they came from the farm shop, but are not dated, picked straight from the hen-house!..

If they float up to the top, they are probably stale. (I would not knowingly eat an egg that floats) If they stay part-way between top and bottom they are between fresh and stale Steve
