As eggs age, the egg shrinks and a pocket or air forms at the bottom of the egg. To check how fresh your eggs are place the eggs in a big bowl of water. The ones that turn bottom end up in the water are not fresh and are nearing or are off. The ones that float are definitely not good to eat. They are past their use by time. Another way to test the egg is to crack it in a bowl. A fresh egg will stand up high and the egg white will be separated into two sections and firm. As an egg gets older it flatten in the bowl and spreads and the egg white gets very thin and liquidy.
