Not neccessarily!. Most gourmets want room temp!. eggs!. You can crack each one, one at a time in a small bowl before adding them to your recipe or frying or what ever you are doing!. If is is rotten you will be able to smell it!!! Or if it has large blood spots or all runny and not intact like a normal egg, then don't use that egg!.!.!.!.!.
Tips
1!.Always check the freshness of the egg right before you consume the yolk!.
2!.If you are uncertain about the freshness of an egg, don't eat it!. This is one of the best safeguards against salmonella infection!.
3!.If there is a crack in the shell, don't eat it!. You can easily check for this by immersing the egg in a pan of cool, salted water!. If the egg emits a tiny stream of bubbles, don't consume it as the shell is porous/contains a hole!.
4!.If you are getting your eggs fresh* from a farmer, ask about refrigeration!. In most cases, it is best to not refrigerate them for maximum nutrition!. Unrefrigerated is the manner in which most of the world stores their eggs!. To properly judge the freshness of an egg, its contents need to be at room temperature!. Eggs that are stored in the fridge and opened immediately after taking them out will seem fresher than they actually are!. Eggs that you want to check the freshness of should be kept outside the fridge for at least an hour prior to opening them!.
5!.First, check all the eggs by rolling them across a flat surface!. Only consume them if they roll wobbly!.
6!.Open the egg!. If the egg white is watery instead of gel-like, don't consume the egg!. If the egg yolk is not convex and firm, don't consume the egg!. If the egg yolk easily bursts, don't consume the egg!.
7!.After opening the egg you can put it up to your nose and smell it!. If it smells foul you will certainly not want to consume it!.

Sitting out were !? Room Temp!. or in a cool place like the cellar!.
Some people store eggs in a cool larder or room, as many recipes call for eggs to be used at room temperature; however, eggs will deteriorate quicker at a warmer temperature!. 24 hours of storage in the refrigerator is the same as 4-5 days in a cool room!. Eggs stored in a cool room, should really be consumed within two weeks!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

use to be able to set butter and eggs out for along while but today for some reason things have changed!. I know if a egg is bad it is going to smell and even may change colors!. Always best to be safe than sorry!. Eggs do not cost that much to have to buy some more!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
The best way to test if eggs are "off", is to put them into either a large cup of water or a mixing bowl!. If they stay on the bottom then they are still fresh, but if they float then they are "off"!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would not use them, Many people say it's fine since now a days they take so many precautions to kill any bacteria etc!.
But I would opt not to take the Chance!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes they are still safe!. I always take eggs out so they can get to room temperature before baking a cake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Fill a bowl of water!. Put each egg in if they float they are rotten!. If they sink to the bottom they are good!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
