Refrigerated, unwashed eggs. Power went out. Still good?

[5crazies]

I store our unwashed eggs in a small refrigerator on our porch. Our area was without power for 48 hours and the eggs were no longer cold, just cool.
Now the power is back on and the eggs are cold again. Are they still good?

yes. They can sit on a counter for at least a month so long as they haven't been washed.

I know that’s true for unrefrigerated unwashed eggs. I just want to make sure it’s the same if they’ve already been refrigerated. Thank you!

They should be fine. I will even sometimes keep grocery store eggs on the counter for a while if my fridge is over-full.

*technically* speaking eggs removed from the fridge and brought to room temp should be used immediately because condensation essentially “washes” off the bloom, however I’d still use them!! Besides that, the temp was lowered slowly so they probably didn’t sweat much if at all

As others have said, they're probably fine. "I" wouldn't chance it over eggs that I have a near constant supply of...certainly not without cracking into a bowl individually with a smell test.

You are right to ask, because as humblehillsfarm said, condensation may form on them if they are brought out of the fridge into a warm room (and indeed, for that reason, in the EU and UK eggs must not be refrigerated before sale to consumers). But your power cut wouldn't have had that effect if the eggs stayed in the fridge the whole time, which is how I read your post.
