They might need refrigeration if you lived in a warmer climate.

It took until your post #50 until anyone mentioned it.

Only commercial caged for their entire life with barely enough room to stand, standing in feces chickens are being culled.

If you buy eggs from healthy pastured chickens who roam all day in the sunshine, eating natural things that they should, you aren’t affected. And those are the delicious eggs that are healthy like real eggs should be. My eggs I buy from the farmer’s market look like yours in the picture. I’m not worried.

As far as I know all eggs stay fresher when refrigerated.

“”6. Cool and dry eggs quickly after washing. Store eggs, large end up, at 50-55°F and at 75%
relative humidity. If eggs sit at room temperature (75°F) they can drop as much as one grade per
day. If fertile eggs are kept at a temperature above 85°F for more than a few hours the germinal
disc (embryo) can start to develop. If fertile eggs are kept above 85°F over two days the blood
vessels of the embryo may become visible.
If eggs are stored properly in their own carton or other stable environment they should hold a
quality of Grade A for at least four weeks.””
