If you don't wash the bloom off the eggs they will keep for months whuoitt refrigeration. That bloom is there to prevent bacteria from entering the egg. There is also a membrane inside the shell that is a second layer of defense against bacteria. If the chickens have clean nest boxes, the eggs don't need washed.Those fresh' eggs you buy at the grocery store can be up to SIX months old and still be labeled as fresh, legally.In very hot climates (like here) we have egg cellars to keep them from getting too hot and spoiling.By the way, mineral oil is a petroleum based product, I would never deliberately put it on or in food, let alone use it for a laxative.VA:F [1.9.21_1169](from 0 votes)
