You can easily gauge eggs' freshness by gently placing them in a bowl of cold water. Really fresh eggs will drop to the bottom of the bowl and lie on their sides. Somewhat fresh eggs will stand on end and bob about in the water. Old eggs will float--and should be discarded.

Personal Notes:
I live alone. So, food in my fridge has to last for a lo-o-ong time. Eggs, by their nature, don't look spoiled after just 3 or 4 months. I found this to be a great way to have some idea about whether my eggs are okay to eat. :-)
