The reason old eggs float is because of the organic material breaking down and gasses being produced. Yes, older eggs have more buoyancy but if they are floating on top of the water - they are bad. Open it and find out yourself.


You are wrong.

It CAN be the case. But it’s not definitive.

The reason why they change in buoyancy typically has nothing to do with organic breakdown and everything to do with water evaporating from the interior, being replaced by air.

The shell is semi permeable.

As stated in my first post, don’t even waste your time with float test and just crack them in a bowl to see if you smell the sulfur dioxide
