Are these eggs safe to eat

[Pink and Green Mom]

Last week my husband picked up eggs from the grocery store.  I just opened the carton and all but 2 are cracked on top (looks like something heavy fell on them during transportation).  No liquid is oozing out, the shells are just cracked/dented.  I guess my stupid question is does the fact that the shell is cracked have any bearing on whether they are safe to eat?  Anyone know?

I would not eat them if they were cracked.  I figure bacteria, even just something on the outside of the shell, could get in there.  I'd try and get my money back!

I would not eat them if they have been like this for a week.

The shell protects the egg from bacteria; if it is cracked, bacteria can have entered the egg.

Thanks for the replies!  I was inclined to think "nothing wrong" but will definitely not use them now.  I have a feeling they were fine at the store and DH just put something heavy on top of them in my trunk.  Men.....LOL (or that is what I get for sending him to Publix).

Cracked for a week I don't think I would.
