Be safe and throw 'em out...eggs don't cost enough to take chances!

I certainly wouldn't use it for a real egg dish (e.g. an omelet or quiche) where you want to taste the egg. They tend to lose freshness rather quickly. If you're using it for baking, it'll be good longer. Either way, if you suspect it may be spoiled, it's best to toss it and buy a new carton. After all, eggs are rather inexpensive and a quick trip to the store is better than food poisoning and a trip to the ER.

A fresh egg is heavier than water, so it will sink and float in case it is stale. Another method: hold it infornt of a light bulb, check for any spots inside, if present throw it.

I think if it floats in a pan of cold water, then the air space has gotten bigger, hence bacteria are living off the egg and making gasses...or more air has gotten in for them to live off of...or both.

Either put them in a bowl of cold water, if it floats its bad or crack it, believe the smell will tell you

Throw it against the wall and see if it breaks. If it does not break then it is spoiled.
