Do eggs absorb odors from their surrounding?

[Geoffrey Joe]

I happen to have an orchard garden and also rear chick which help in providing manure for the garden. I have one store for all my produce so far. Will the smell of fruits affect my eggs?

Eggs have the ability to absorbs odors from foods with strong smells. Eggs have over 17,000 pores in the the outer shell. They easily absorb strong odors from other foods. Eggs should always be kept covered when in a confined place, like the refrigerator.
