Fresh shell eggs should maintain their quality under refrigeration for 4-5 weeks. I have kept shell eggs longer than that and they have been just fine, but the yolk flattens out and the white becomes more runny.
Washing does remove the protective 'bloom' layer and some feel that it does affect keeping quality.

Should farm fresh eggs be kept in fridge?
Yes, it is a good idea to refrigerate all eggs, although if it is cool outside they will be okay for a few days not in the refrigerator. If the eggs have not been washed, but have no visible dirt or droppings on them, they will last longer, whether refrigerated or not refrigerated. This is because the natural bloom is protecting them, which comes off when washed.
How long will locally hatched eggs last in the refrigerator?
You have GOT to have mis-stated your question. If an egg is "hatched," it means you are talking about a baby chicken. They're NOT going to last long in in the fridge. If, on the other hand, you are asking about, local, fresh eggs, then I've an answer for you: it all depends on whether the egg as been washed. When a hen lays an egg, she coats the outside with amembrane (called the "bloom). This membrane helps seal the pores on the shell. An egg shell has around 6000 pores that let air in and the inside moistute to evaporate out. Commercial eggs are washed. Often, local, fresh eggs are not washed. An unwashed, refridgerated egg will stay fresh in the fridge for AT LEAST two months and close to three. A washed, commercial egg will go bad in about a month.
