How can you tell if balut is bad?

How can you tell if Balut is bad? If the eggs lay flat at the bottom of the water they are fresh, if the egg stands upright on the bottom then they are getting old. If they float, throw them out, they are too old. This is a very reliable test, because as an egg ages, the air bubble in the egg grows larger.
