According to U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspetion Service [1]https://www.fsis.usda.gov/ if you store your eggs properly, eggs can last for many weeks in the refrigerator and even longer in the freezer. You should store the eggs in their original carton in the back of the fridge. This prevents them from absorbing odors and protects them from temperature fluctuations as the refrigerator door is opened and closed [2]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21535852/
The chart below explains how long does it take eggs to expire in different conditions[3] https://www.fda.gov/media/74435/download.
