Answers:
It depends!.!.!.if you buy them off the shelf, they can stay out of the fridge!. If you buy them in a cold section, they have to stay cold!. Eggs can go from room temp to cold but then they have to stay cold otherwise you can get food poisoning!. At the last supermarket i worked at, half our eggs came cold and half came room temp so to keep them together we had to put them in the cold section so we did not give our customers food poisoning!. they do last better in the fridge!. 1 day of room temp is about the same as 7days in the fridge!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you get fresh eggs from a farmer and they were gathered clean so the oils weren't washed off they can stand to be out for awhile but to lengthen their edibility it is best to put them in the fridge!. Any washed eggs have the protective coating washed off and must be in the fridge right away!. If you have a kid who stick one in the freezer as an experiment you will see that the shell will crack and the frozen white will ooze out!. If you want to freeze them for other reasons you do have to separate the yolks and whites!. drop a white into a cavity of an ice cube tray and add a couple drops of water!. When the egg cubes are frozen pop them out and put in a freezer container!. You may do the same for yolks!.
Actually I use my eggs up so fast that I have never had to freeze and save my freezer space for other things that need it more!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes they must keep in the fridge to keep the bacteria at bay!. You can't freeze a whole raw egg but you can separate them and freeze yolks with yolks and white with whites!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
