Storing eggs that froze outside

[SamCO]

Hey fellow, chicken keepers. The weather has gotten really cold here in Colorado and many times when I collect eggs throughout the day, they seem like they are at least partially frozen. They haven’t cracked but are partially frozen. I have been storing eggs at room temperature and rotating them eating the oldest ones first. Is it OK to continue to do this with eggs that may have frozen? The frozen eggs do seem to be more watery when you crack them. But otherwise have seemed fine. Is this a risk to my family? Should we refrigerate them?

Thank you!

As long as the membrane isn't ruptured, I wouldn't worry, I'd personally refrigerate them.
