    I still don’t get why you wouldn’t still put those eggs on the refrigerator. They will stay fresher longer!

      Fresh eggs at room temp will stay good for 2 - 4 weeks at room temperature, 3-6 months refrigerated. If you need to refrigerate fresh eggs, you have too many chickens

        Eggs don’t instantly degrade from good to bad overnight. They slowly degrade with weakening membranes and what not. As I said, they stay freshER.

        I get unwashed eggs from a farm whenever I can. I still put my eggs in the fridge. And the yolks stay nice and unbroken when making eggs over easy, as I like them.

        I don’t have chickens I buy them unwashed at the store, use a certain amount of them in the next two or three days because I planned for them, and then all bets are off for the left-over eggs.

        I’ll get around to them eventually, never yet had to throw one away, but they keep longer in the fridge and they need a place to stay anyway so why not there.

        Oh and once they near their expiry date hard-boil them, that easily adds another month.

        I don’t see how. In any case, I see zero advantage to NOT storing them in the fridge.
