If you keep a couple of chics in the back yard you do not need tricks to to know you have fresh eggs :)

ABBY ---  I remember back in the 50's my parents kept hens.  When they laid an egg, Dad would write the date on them when they were collected. Having 6 hens in all, that meant nearly 6 eggs per day. Dad used to take them into work and sold them to his work mates. It added a little extra money into the household. They were large eggs with orange yolks, not like the ones you buy from supermarkets today.

My nan used to preserve eggs in jars, 11 parts water to 1 part water glass (sodium silicate) and stored in the cellar and used for cooking ... they lasted through the winter period when the hens do not lay .... no refrigerator.

thankyou for the refresher course re fresh and not so fresh eggs 

Ahh if we were all so lucky to be able to run chooks Abby.  In suburbia many council say you have to have them so far away from your neighbours fence...hence it is impossible with so many smaller blocks today:)
