How does an egg rot?
Isn’t the purpose of the mother hen to keep the egg warm until it hatches.
Then why does it rot when you leave it out.
Shouldn’t you put it in the sun to keep it warm.Instead, you put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

Well, store bought eggs are usually unfertilized so there isn’t anything to hatch or develop in the egg, so what’s in there will eventually rot. Although there are fertilized eggs that can be bought, refrigerating the eggs keeps them from developing.
kooky but a valid question! haha by the way, I like your mustache on your photo, getting ready for Movember I see…

But what came 1st the chicken or the egg ?
Store bought eggs rot because they are washed, try this get a store bought egg, rub mineral oil on it, will last for about a year, Was on Doomsday prep.
The correct answer is surprising – becasue it shows how complex an egg reall is :
Air and even water can enter eggs through the shell, it not a fully airtight barrier. This is why the mineral oil works to delay the rotting – it seals the tiny holes that allow air to pass.
Additionally, eggs also have a small pocket of air inside them which the chick would access just before hatching.
Over time, if the egg does not hatch either because it’s not fertile, or because there is something wrongs with the chick, the membrane between the egg contents and the air pocket begins to deteriorate, and the air then assists the eggs decomposition.
Eggs that have gone off will float in water due to the build up of gasses from decomposition where as good eggs sink.
