I voted for in the fridge, but that’s just cos we’ve got nowhere else to put them. prior to our fridge, they live under our friend’s chickens, then in a basket out on their kitchen counter. I distinctly remember the two fat ladies being horrified at people who put their eggs in the fridge.
No, they just suck up flavors, so you’re supposed to keep them in the carton (as opposed to putting them in the nifty little egg holders on the door). We have a book that we use whenever we have questions about what should be refriderated and what can be left out; it’s amazing how many things you do just because you did them growing up!
I’m coming in late on this… but I voted for the fridge. I had one too many times of the cat jumping into the eggs on the counter. There’s nothing like egg paw prints all over the floor when you come home.

Are eggs like tomatoes in that refrigeration affects the taste/texture/etc?
