There is one rule that more people should follow when it comes to the freshness of their food, and that is "When in doubt, throw it out!" With eggs you may want to use the float-test method. Take a 12oz glass, fill it a bit more than half way with cool water. Take a "fresh" egg and gently place it in the glass of water. If the egg drops to the bottom, that is a good thing. It is still fresh enough to use. If the egg drops to the bottom and comes back to the top, the gases in the egg have began to stir. The gas is a sign the egg is no good. Throw it away without cracking it open. It will stink like no ones business.

I assume you have been carrying out some form of refrigeration process on your eggs, if you want them for eating then don't chill your eggs, they keep better at room temperature. And for preference, the best fried eggs i ever had were using eggs that were still warm from being inside the chicken!

However the time to reach room temp for eggs will depend largely on a couple of factors...

1: What is the temperature differential? For example storing your eggs in liquid nitrogen will take a lot longer than storing them in a household refrigerator.

2: How big are the eggs? Small eggs like those from a quail will warm up considerably quicker than those of an ostrich.

Just to be safe I would have to say leave it in a room temperature area; away from any windows or heaters that can affect the temperature of the egg; for about 6 or 7 hours at the least. If you are in a time span then you could probably go with just 2 or 3 hours instead.
