Are they cooked?
Normal fresh eggs dont need to be kept in the fridge at all
If you want to check how fresh an egg is - put it in a bowl of water - the egg should sink - if it floats or one end tries to float then its old and best thrown out

Keep your eggs cold!
Always put eggs and other perishables away first when you get home from the grocery store. Keep eggs in the coldest section of the fridge, usually near the back.
Store eggs in their original carton! It protects them from odours and damage – and you will be able to check the "best before" date easily. (Remember to use older eggs first!)
If raw eggs crack by accident, remove them from the shell and put them in a covered container in the refrigerator and use them within four days.
Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the fridge for one week in a covered container.
Cold facts about freezing eggs
To freeze whole raw eggs or raw egg whites:
Beat the eggs until well blended.
Pour them into a freezer container, and seal tightly.
Label the container with the date and the number of eggs.
To freeze raw egg yolks:
Beat in 1/8 tsp salt or 1 ½ tsp sugar or corn syrup for every four egg yolks.
Pour them into a freezer container, and seal tightly.
Label the container with the date and the number of eggs.
Foodsafe tip: You can freeze eggs for up to four months. Defrost in the refrigerator, microwave or under cold running water.
Ask the “eggs-perts”!
Q1. Should eggs stay at room temperature for more than two hours?
A1. No! Neither raw or cooked eggs should be kept out of the refrigerator for more than two hours. Foods spoil quickly in the danger zone temperature range of 4 C to 60 C (40 F to 140 F ).
Q2. Is it safe to eat raw or lightly cooked eggs?
A2. Foods made from raw or lightly cooked eggs may be harmful to vulnerable people such as young children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with weak immune systems. When serving eggs to these people, cook them thoroughly.
Foodsafe tip: Try pasteurized egg products. They are an excellent and safe alternative to make food where the eggs won’t be cooked. Try them when making eggnog, mayonnaise, Hollandaise sauce, cookie dough (if you eat raw cookie dough), salad dressings, ice cream and mousses. Pasteurization destroys disease-causing organisms such as salmonella.
Q3. Are hard-cooked decorated Easter eggs safe to eat?
A3. Yes – if you follow a few quick rules. First, be sure to hard cook eggs and cool them immediately. Use a colouring dye that is non-toxic, and use eggs with uncracked shells. Store the coloured eggs in a covered container in the refrigerator until you need them.
Foodsafe tip: Want to display your eggs and eat them later? Display them in a bowl of ice.

In the shells yes, if they're already cracked open and uncovered then no. Stuff breeds fast in egg white and yolk.

Unless your house is really hot they're probably just fine, eggs are pretty easy that way.
