It does for awhile depending on where it is kept. They used to coat eggs in oil to take across the prairies by wagon train. Yes use the wet ones or the ones that had to be washed right away. The rest can be stored. :)

If I die from salmonella poisoning I will not be making any more comments.
LOL
I have kept clean unwashed eggs for months also this way. I never did die, yet, either.
When I share them with others I think they keep them in the fridge even though I tell them this.But at least I keep my supply down.
At one point, by various additions of a few at a time, I had a couple dozen hens and half a dozen roosters. I had eggs of every color, and in plenty. It does not take very long to build up a terrifying mountain of eggs when you get a couple dozen every day.
I was almost grateful to the raccoons that thinned the herd, when they penetrated my defenses.
We tried free ranging the chickens and add new ones every year as the predators have taken them. I am down to just one damaged chicken from a dog attack and she is now in the coop. One egg a day is manageable.
Being grateful haha I understand that!!
