    How long do eggs stay good - no refrigeration?

    So I bought some eggs from a farmer yesterday and accidentally left them in my car all afternoon and overnight. It was in the 60s during the day and 50s at night. Can I still eat the eggs or are they bad now. They were without refrigeration for a good 18 hours or so.
