You don't need to fridge eggs, if they are not opened. The skin under the shell bloom is there to protect the intended chicken from yeast and bacteria.

Edit: ok, the "bloom" outside mostly, if you don't wash it off. I only know eggs unrefigerated so far. And colored ones, them are cooled ...and also nasty and hard to peel.

    This is not correct, according to the states, and generally seems incorrect as well. The "bloom" on the outside of an unwashed egg protects the insides. In the US, eggs sold in grocery stores are washed so they have to be refrigerated.
