Eggs are much better than meat and milk. Remember that they're just sitting around (possibly under) chickens until they're collected, you can leave them out for quite a while before they go bad. In addition, eating uncooked eggs is usually considered much more safe than uncooked milk or meat.
I don't understand why you wouldn't put eggs in the refrigerator though. I've had eggs that lasted a whole year because I do this and it adds mass to the refrigerator which can help reduce temperature swings.
