It's weird that we eat eggs, but everything is weird if you think about it enough. I've read recently a spate of articles mentioning that refrigerating eggs is an unnecessary American affectation. Then I've read the comments (usually a terrible idea, but I can't not read things) and I'm coming to the conclusions that 1) practically everyone refrigerates eggs if they're not in England, and 2) it's weird that we eat eggs. Anyway, the reason I am thinking about eggs is because I bought a dozen a while ago and didn't use them and continued to not use them and they just hung out in my very American refrigerator until V asked for a hard-boiled egg.
I put the dozen in a pot filled with water and one floated up to the top, so I removed it. I boiled the rest and tried one to make sure I wasn't feeding my child something worse than usual. It was fine, even though the "best used by" date on the carton was April 11 and it's now the middle of June.
That wasn't the best use of day twenty-four, but it wasn't such a great day and somehow I managed to work in two 21s so I'm catching up. Some days you should just shuffle through. The ability to move on is a valuable skill.

When I was mowing the lawn last time I drove by and confirmed, it is a chicken coop. And rabbit hutch, apparently. Though only one rabbit implies that is a pet not livestock.
Hope no one reports them. Even if MoCo passed the "Backyard chicken" laws they were talking about a couple years ago, the coop is non-conforming (too close to property line). If the backyard chicken rules didn't pass their zoning say no livestock. (My zoning is perplexing, In one place it is explicit I'm allowed 1 horse per acre up to 5 acres, after which two horse per acre are permitted. In another place it says keeping livestock is not permitted, and a third place says the property can be used for any agricultural purpose.) Not that I could take care of chickens these days, but I thought about it numerous times over the last 15 year.
They don't refrigerate eggs in other countries I've been in, either. The big takeaway is that a day in the fridge is an hour on the counter. So if you go through a lot of eggs, then no need to refrigerate.
