I've always heard that Amish eggs (or any farm fresh eggs) are safe because they haven't been washed or refrigerated. Once they have been washed (like eggs you get at the grocery) the protective coating is removed and they have to be refrigerated.

You live in Florida? I would say nope - it's been in the 80's here in Lee County. My motto is "when in doubt, throw them out". How expensive can a dozen eggs be? $5 or $6? Is it worth getting food poisoning?

Absolutely correct!!
Is it REALLY worth it to take the risk of getting sick over a few dollars?
Think of the possibility of spending hours with your head in the toilet?
No way! Just throw them out and get some fresh eggs.

True. Well said.

A few lost dollars isn't worth the chance of landing in the hospital OR having to spend days sitting on the toilet while simultaneously hurling in a wastebasket in front of you.

OP: If you did get sick, God forbid, you'd really hate yourself for getting yourself ill when it could easily have been avoided.

In the UK, they don't refrigerate eggs in the grocery store. They probably sit on the shelf for days.

And they also still have smears of chicken poop on them too, even feathers stuck to them sometimes. They haven't been washed which is why they can sit in room temperature for extended time. In the US eggs are washed before they go to market, so they have to be refrigerated.

And they vaccinate chickens against salmonella. This is rare in the US and another reason for refrigeration.

Cheap eggs - around $2/dz, but there are also more expensive eggs - pasture raised, cage free, organic, brown etc. Those cost over $8/dz in our stores.

I don't store eggs in a fridge. In Texas. But all depends on the temperatures in your trunk.
Use them if they pass the smell test (once cracked) and whites aren't cloudy. For good or bad regarding me, I've never found a need to throw out a batch of eggs.

depends on what you consider several days and how warm the weather has been? I think you have had a lot of heat, am I right? I usually am not one to worry about whether something is safe to eat, but might in your case. Even if you paid $3 or $4 for them I still wouldn't take a chance: BTW:Aldi's here last week they were 25 cents a dozen: OK probably not top of the line quality, but for a quarter who cares? They tasted just like eggs should taste.
