I would keep just the shells, let them dry, then smash them up before putting them in. I think rotten eggs would be a rotten mess.

Me, I'd go ahead and put them in the bin. The only downside would be that they might stink. I'm sure the worms wouldn't mind, but of course you might. You'd want to bury them pretty deep.
You could do a trial egg and hold off on the other two until you find out what happens.
My guess would be that they would never be noticed. But if the egg did stink, you could always dig it out and carry it outside and bury it. Probably not too much fun, but not the worst thing I can imagine.
As for the egg shells, I agree about drying and crushing them. Otherwise you're just going to have a bunch of broken egg shells in your plants.
You'll definitely have to report back if you try it!

I'll try one and let you know what happens.

9 month old eggs in an indoor bin? Yikes! I'd throw them in the trash outside and quick!

break the eggs, crush the shells well, mix it all into the bedding - you won't find anything but shell in a few days and there shouldn't be any smell

Eggs can last for months without going bad.

Years ago we used to have people from Alaska drive down into Washington state to the hatchery i worked at and buy several cases of eggs each fall. They would sit in the parking lot and smear petroleum jelly onto every egg. They claimed that they would keep all year that way. But there were a few that would go bad.

They would go bad in a couple different ways;

Rotten eggs really smell. Well like rotten sulfur. Very rotten eggs have a tendency to explode. If they are close to blowing cracking them can set them off.

And, You will need to crack them in order to add them to your worm bin.

On the other hand they can dehydrate and may have already dried up inside. This possibility is the most likely one if they were stored in cardboard.

Good Luck

How did it go with the eggs, Susan?

Yes, Susan...
Inquiring minds want to know LOL

I'm curious too but I guess Susan is not visiting.

Susan!
What happened to those rotten eggs? I think the smell would have been NASTY!

Sorry, I'd forgotten about this post! My job kept me away from recreational internet for quite a while.

I put them in one at a time and mixed them in with the bedding and then put a number of inches of new bedding over that. No problems at all. I use newspaper that I've put through a straight shredder (not the diamond kind) as bedding. It fluffs very well until it's partially broken down, and then it doesn't matter if it's fluffed or not. There was some smell when I lifted up the bedding, but that was gone in a few days.

I made sure to only mix them in to one side, so the worms could escape if they wanted. Also, I have a flow through, so I think those can handle things a rubbermaid without holes just couldn't handle.

My wife read a magazine article about a week ago that says to put a single unbroken egg in the bottom of a pot when planting and it will be used as a slow release fertilizer as the shell breaks down. It was new to me.
