I have chickens and I gather the eggs, wash them and leave them on the counter. We usually eat them within two weeks.
If you are not sure of an egg give it the float test. Put the egg in water. Fresh from the chicken eggs sink to the bottom, as they age more air collects at the end of the egg causing it to begin to float. If the egg really floats high in the water, I don't eat it.
