I typically store my eggs in a basket on the counter, never refrigerating. I bring them directly in from the coop in the summer. My question is, during the winter, sometimes the eggs are really cold when I bring them in. Cold as a refrigerator. Is it OK to then store them on the counter if they came from the coop cold?
Yes, as long as they haven't frozen solid. If they have they'll crack allowing bacteria in and leak. If they're frozen, I keep them in the freezer till I need them.
