How long is a hardboiled egg good for?

Left over Easter egg. It has been in the fridge since Sunday afternoon. Its blue with little stick-on ducks if that matters.

 
without the shell being cracked and kept in the fridge... one week. 🙂
 
My grandfather has shelled hardboiled eggs in a bowl on the counter for days. And eats them little by little. 😕
 
hmm, i bet yours are still good. My roommates left our hard boiled eggs out on the counter and ate one this morning...apparently it was still good...

want me to ship you one? 😛
 
I'd also expect that they'd last longer than a week. Fresh eggs last about a month at room temperature. We don't bother refrigerating ours most of the time.

I wonder why they last longer uncooked? 😕 I would think they spoil quicker raw.

Probably has something to do with the shell... They last longer if they're unwashed too. We never bother with washing eggs. I have a bunch of people who want to buy brown eggs from me; I tell them, "I'll just give them to you if you stop by, but I'm not washing eggs; if I was going to go to the trouble of washing them, I'd sooner just break them open on the ground for the chickens to eat" - which is what I do with the dirtiest of the eggs.

whats the difference between brown eggs and white?
 
FWIW I just learned how to make deviled eggs:

1. Boil eggs
2. De-shell and Slice in half length-wise
3. Scoop out the yolk (yellow ball)
4. Mush up yolk in bowl with fork along with:

About equal parts mayo or miracle whip
Teaspoon or two of pickle juice (from a jar of pickles)
Salt
Pepper
Dry yellow mustard (powder)
* Mix to desired consistency and alter mixture until you like it

5. Spoon mixture back into sliced eggs
6. Shake a little Paprika on the top for looks

Not much. But, the difference between fresh farm eggs and eggs from a store is pretty noticeable.

I have to answer the Brown eggs and White egg question!
I hear them on television all the time, their standard answer is: "Both are the same nutritionally".
While this may be true, I don't feel that they are answering the real question:

Brown eggs have a darker and richer tasting yolk than White eggs! I don't really care for fried eggs much myself, but when I do eat them, I much prefer the Brown eggs when available.

That, my friend, is the difference between White eggs and Brown eggs.
