See this link: http://www.netwellness.org/healthtopics/poison/hardboiled...

"Generally, hard-boiled eggs can last a week in the refrigerator. Even with its natural (but easily cracked) calcium-carbonate container, a hard-cooked egg is a perishable food, so it shouldn't be kept at room temperature for more than two hours."

If you left them out I would recomend pitching them. I stick with the 2 hour rule. If the food is out for more than 2 hours it probably shouldn't be eaten any more. Fruit, like grapes and apples and such are the only items I don't hold fast to that on.

If you refrigerate them, they will be good for 5 days.

If they have been in the refrigerator, they should be OK. If they have not, throw them away. I learned that the hard way one year when I left the pretty eggs to decorate the table.

Search it online. I think a week or four days I cannot remember. Eggs go fast in our house. Adding them to chicken or tuna salad. Make deviled eggs. I just reread your question. If they are on the table that is very bad as far as bacteria and salimnalla (sp). Those need to be tossed before a kiddo gets them. Wash your hands after throwing them away. Even if they are out I would have them on a tray with a container of ice under them to serve dinner. But left on the table they really need to go.

If they have been refrigerated they should last at least another week, if they haven't I would throw them out right away.

Put them in the fridge, they will last a long time. Leave them out, they won't last too long, maybe a week. I remember as a kid we used to eat our eggs for days after Easter.
