Fresh eggs will keep for four to six weeks without refrigeration but refrigeration will extend this period. The nature of the egg changes as it ages. Yolk membranes become thinner and weaker, while egg whites become more runny. Refrigeration slows this decline.

YES. Eggs bought from a farm are very likely to be fertilized and under the right (or wrong) conditions the eggs can in fact start to develop. Refrigeration not only stops this process, it keeps bacteria growth under control and maintains the eggs fresher, longer. Eggs are sold in some countries non refrigerated but in North America we advise all eggs be properly stored in cold conditions to maintain health and safety.

What do you mean by unfertilised eggs?

Eggs are fertilized by a rooster, hens do not need a rooster to produce an egg, they will do this with or without mating. Eggs available at the grocery store are produced by hens that never have contact with a male bird. Fresh eggs bought from a farm or roadside stand are likely to have been fertilized since most farms keep a rooster both to protect the hens and to renew stock as the hens age out each year..
