according to the dope at the f.d.a. website:

According to the FDA, (U. S. Food and Drug Administration FDA Consumer
January 1992) "Use raw shell eggs within 5 weeks after bringing them
home. Use hard-cooked eggs (in the shell or peeled) within 1 week
after cooking. Use leftover yolks and whites within 4 days after
removing them from the shell."

if you really want to get into the weeds, each carton should have on
it the julian date the eggs were packed:
