re: People That Do Not Refrigerate Eggs

If it's a fresh egg you really don't need to refrigerate them. In a small henhouse environment, you can gather the eggs before they can become contaminated by prolonged contact to chicken shite.
A store bought egg has gone through some sort of cleaning process that removes a layer of the egg that prevents the growth of bacteria naturally. So if an egg has been washed, bacteria can seep in; so you have to refrigerate them.
