Egg storage

[preciouschick]

Should I keep my eggs in the fridge or on the counter?

I wanted to post this but couldnt find a category. Thought this might help.I am just doing this myself an cannot attest to the storage and life of the eggs yet, but it's an old homestead method. I wanted to store my eggs for long term and came upon a homesteader on youtube for storing eggs with pickling lime.
So what you do is...(hopefully I didnt miss anything. research before you try)
dont wash the eggs. Use only clean eggs with no poop on them.
Use a container with a lid, plastic or glass. Measure an ounce of pickeling lime per quart of distilled water. Mix. The lime will settle. Add clean eggs every day until the container is full. I only filled the container halfway with liquid. The storage life is 8 months+. Store in an even temperature pantry (not hot ).(look up the temp) Another tip...if an egg floats it's bad!
You can find this method on youtube.

Sorry for skipping to the end of this thread. My question pertains to the food safety of unwashed eggs that have been stored in the fridge but then the fridge went out. Running at about 52 f now. Are they still ok?

How long was it out for? Did it get hot enough inside the fridge for condensation to form? If it wasn't out for too long or didn't get warm enough to get condensation on the shells, they should be fine.

Thanks. no condensation and they still feel chilled. Just don't want to get the runs (or worse) over a couple dozen eggs. Love your screen name btw.
