I knew that my Grandma kept her eggs on the counter but my Mom kept them in the fridge so I was confused. Do they need to be refridgerated or not?

The eggs I get at the Farmers Market have been refridgerated but sometimes have bits of feathers on them. I'll have to ask my farmer why she refridgerates them.
