Best Answer

You can leave eggs out of the refrigerator as long as the bloom (protective coating) is not removed. This goes for freshly laid, unwashed eggs. They can last up to a month on the counter. If you're talking about store-bought eggs, they've already been washed and must be refrigerated. You can also do a float test. If an egg floats in water, it's bad. If it sinks, it's good. If it's halfway, you can still eat it and be safe, but it's not as fresh.

If the egg is kept cool (not refrigerated) and in a humid container it can remain viable for up to 7 to 10 days. After a 7 day period, hatch rates are reduced daily.
