If the eggs have been refrigerated before in the store and you bought the eggs in the store then you should really keep those eggs refrigerated when not using them.

I have safely kept out some eggs for a week before though without them going bad even though they were refrigerated in the store though.

So they should be safe out of the refrigerator for at least a week but it's best to refrigerate the eggs if possible.

I thought the eggs would be bad but decided to crack one open and see and it was still good.

If the eggs were farm fresh eggs and never refrigerated then they can safely stay out of the refrigerator at room temperature.

However refrigerating the eggs helps to keep them from going bad too soon and extends the shelf life of eggs.
