Egg shells a porous and will eventually take on the smells of strong foods stored in the fridge with them. Eggs have thousands of tiny holes which allow the egg to lose moisture over time but they also allow air to replace that lost moisture. Eggs should be stored in the cartons they come from the store in as they are designed to help minimized odor transfer.

Eggs are porous and and exchange of moisture and air is taking place constantly.

Smells from the refrigerator can penetrate the fresh eggs which in turn is transferred to the flavor of that egg.
