Many countries do not refrigerate fresh eggs; they are sold and consumed without refrigeration. In North America however the practice is to refrigerate immediately.
When a hen wants to hatch chicks, she continues to lay an egg each day until the nest is full. THEN she sits on them for 21 days, after which they hatch. Many hens sit on 10 or 15 eggs, so the first egg laid sits around at room temperature for up to two weeks before she sits on it full-time, keeping them at incubation temperature.
Chickens would not have survived to modern times if eggs went bad unless chilled. Even a little bacteria growing inside an egg would kill the chick. Hens kept in healthy conditions lay healthy eggs that do not need constant refrigeration. North Americans refrigerate to guard against that extremely rare egg (1/20,000 even in factory-farmed eggs that are laid by highly stressed hens) that has some salmonella inside the egg.
It varies all over the world. Farm fresh eggs are usually about 25% more than store bought eggs. California being the exception where farm fresh "organic" eggs can be 100% the price of regular eggs.
It is safe for a pregnant woman to eat fresh farm brown eggs. For safety reasons and to avoid salmonella, fresh farm eggs as well as store bought eggs need to be thoroughly cooked.
Not if they are hardboiled. Fresh eggs should be kept cold.
In an effort to keep bacteria's production slowed, the answer would be "yes". However, there are some countries that do not. Actually, outside the USA, farm fresh eggs are rarely refrigerated and sold off the shelf in stores. Why? Because eggs that are fresh and have not been washed still have a protective shell or skin on them. Remember that a hen sits on the eggs for around 20 days or almost three weeks and eventually out pops a little chick. Does bacteria grow and contaminate the chick? No. If they are washed and that protective skin is removed, or if they have been refrigerated ever, then yes, refrigerate them. Farm fresh, room temperature eggs, so say many naturalists, are far better for positive nutrition benefits than those bought in refrigerated grocery store cartons.
Actually farm fresh eggs are healthier, lower in cholesterol and higher in omega 3.
No, actually eggs will stay fresh longer if they are refrigerated and left raw. There is a coating on the shell that protects them. Boiling removes this protection.
Yes. Fresh eggs can be stored on your counter for up to 5 weeks!
