So, we planned our first day of leaving the chickens alone for a day. The plan was to leave late Saturday night, and be home not-too-late Sunday night. What actually occurred was, left late Saturday night, and due to an emergency, got home late Monday night. I had overfilled a water basin and food bowl, and left out a large platter of veggie goodies. We called the neighbor Monday morn, and he came over to make sure they still had plenty of food and water, and even brought them some more fruit.

When we got home, we had eggs from Sunday and eggs from Monday. They have been laying mid-day, so the eggs from Sunday were potentially in there for a day and a half. How long can they be left there and still be safe to eat?
