Egg Storage

[Nanook33]

Lately I have read several articles on how to store your eggs. One said NOT to wash them until they are to be used. They can be stored at room temperature or in the frig. The other article said to wash/dry the eggs right after collecting them & to refrigerate them. Does anyone have any thoughts/information on this subject? Thanks!!

An egg looses more moisture in a day on the counter than a week in the fridge, I store mine in the fridge.
If you go through them quickly, you can leave them on the counter if your house is cool.
I only wash if they're gross.

I too only wash if they are dirty. I do tend to store mine in the fridge, unless I think I am getting a broody hen. But I store there because that is how I have them set up, not because I think they have to be cold.
