I think this issue is very confusing 
Free range hens lay the eggs outside so surely colder than the average supermarket/house 
So to be the same as that it would be the fridge surely? 
Oh but what if it's in a nesting box full of straw? How warm is that?
Farm too complicated for a Wednesday |

"Should eggs be stored outside or inside a fridge? 
Where are they stored in the shops 
But my house is warmer than the average supermarket
You're lucky coming to your house "
Come on down. We are south facing with enormous picture windows. Its currently 22 degrees inside, heating is off and the front door open....
Now back to egg storage |

Outside . .eggs are porous . .so if you store them in the fridge with other food the taste of that food absorbes into the egg. .who needs Jamie fucking oliver. ?  |

Same with jam, pickles, preserves etc.
If they needed to be in a fridge then supermarkets would stock them with the milk, butter etc in the chilled section! |

"Outside. There may be a space in the fridge for them, but if you try and pop a cold egg in boiling water, the shell breaks... Says it all  "
Not if you lower them in slowly.
My Dad is a chef, has chickens and keeps the eggs in the fridge so I'm sticking with that |

Eggs are sterile inside and have a protective coating on their shell that keeps them that way, unless you wash them.
A hen lays eggs, outside, usually in a nest she sits on at night so the temperature fluctuates. Fertilized eggs all start to develop at the same time despite this. So they dont go off before they start to develop.
Ideally eggs last for about 21 days if stored in a cool place out of direct sunlight.

Stored in the fridge, removed an hour before baking.
Remember that the supermarket eggs are treated before heading to the shelves.
Farm eggs are sooo much tastier! |

"Teaspoon of baking powder in boiling water helps hard boiled eggs peel perfectly every time.  "
Really, during cooking? Peeling boiled eggs is the bane of my life, fed up with flesh coming away with the shell. |

The NHS website and the egg info website (they manage the lion mark), eggs should be stored in the back of a fridge.
1. They last longer in a fridge.
2. Being in the back of a fridge reduces the temperature fluctuations that happen in the door compartments.
3. Eggs are not refridgerated in supermarkets, as the ambient temperature is usually below 20°c, which is cooler than most houses.
Right...now that's sorted, who wants a cup of hot chocolate?  |
