A guy I know who sells eggs at the farmers market also sells them at his auto repair store. He said he has some duck eggs and chicken eggs today that were laid 3 weeks ago. I have bought eggs from him before and they were very good. I told him I thought 3 weeks was a little too old for eggs. He said they keep 5 weeks. If I buy them today and used them within a week would that be ok?
