    Some raw chicken eggs can stand, some can't.  It doesn't matter
what time of year it is, the only things that matter are the shape of
the egg, its surface roughness, and how fresh it is (stale eggs lose
water to evaporation through the shell, lowering their centers of
gravity.  Stale eggs also tend to have more flexible yolk sacks,
allowing the heavy yolk to slouch lower in the shell, again lowering
the c.g.)

                From an egg stander in good standing:
