Whether you put eggs in the fridge or on the counter it all boils down to where you're from. You see, eggs are a source of salmonella and each country tackles that differently. Some countries wash eggs to get rid of salmonella on the shell. But this also washes off the shell's protective coating. So after that, eggs are refrigerated to help keep any germs that stuck around from growing. If you take an egg out of the cold fridge, it'll start sweating, and condensation will form on the shell. Some bacteria, like salmonella, find that to be a lovely home. And it might regrow on the eggshell, so keeping the egg cold is probably safer. But other countries skip washing and go straight to the source by vaccinating hens against salmonella. And research has shown that this decreases salmonella on eggshells too. Since there's less risk that salmonella will be on the eggs. And they still have that protective coating, they don't need refrigeration. So, in the end, just remember to store your eggs at the temperature you got them!
