To know if an egg has spoiled or not there is a simple test you can do. Gas forms inside of an egg that is spoiled and when it does you can see its effect. Get a glass of water that you would use for drinking. Put your eggs into it one at a time. A very fresh egg lays flat on the bottom of the glass. The less fresh it is the more the egg starts to tip and stand up as the gas causes it to rise. If you do this before boiling your eggs you will not have to worry any more. Okay? What you may be seeing, and what you are not used to seeing, is fertilized eggs. In the United States, unless you get an egg off a farm with a rooster, all the eggs you see at the grocery store are sterile. Then again, you may be seeing spoiled eggs, too! If you repeatedly get bad batches of eggs from the place you are buying them I suggest you find another store to shop in. Hopefully one that keeps the eggs refrigerated or at least in a cool place.

That would be "Which" (not witch), it's (not its), and floats (not flots).
Crack the egg open and find out.

When it lies on its side. It is good and fresh.
If the egg, when placed in water stands on its end, (Not laying on its side) the egg should not be eaten.
If it floats, cremate (Trash) it.

If it floats it is bad because of the gases that are made from decomposing egg.

if it floats it's bad because if egg contains air, it's not fresh, egg inside has shrunk.

if it sinks its good, if it floats it's bad.For best results of the floating test on eggs, you should use salted water.
