  1. I would say about a week if they aren't refrigerated.


  2. if it the egg is place in a hot temp. then remove it take about 9 days

  3. Well technically it will start to rot the second it is laid and not fertilized but I have bought eggs and kept them out for two or three weeks and they do start to get a bit gamy at three weeks and I guess it takes a week to get them from the chicken to my kitchen so I would say a month

  4. if cooked i say about a week and if not it depends on the temperature of the room.

  5. Eggs start to rot as soon as the little would-be baby chick dies inside the egg... since most commercially produced eggs are unfertilized, they decay as soon as they are laid.

    Death = decay/rotting.  

    That is why they need to be refrigerated.

    Heat speeds up the process.  It all depends on temperature.
