Fresh eggs can also be difficult to peel when boiled. The float test is only really a good measurement of freshness if you are not keeping the eggs under refrigeration. If you want to use the test anyway on eggs stored chilled, basically the best eggs under a few weeks old will simply lay horizontally on the bottom with no hint of "round end pointing up". Or if you want to keep it really simple, keeping 3 hybrid layer chickens is far cheaper, more reliable, and takes less time than trying to find similar quality eggs…not that I have only three, or hybrids, or just chickens. Also, properly scrambled (fresh) duck eggs will ruin you, so stick to chicken eggs. It's cheaper, less stinky and muddy that way.

I think that messes up the dates.
