My duck laid eggs, lots and i want to incubate them. But they are really dirty should i wash them first or just leave them dirty to incubate?

So my duck has laid a total of 11 eggs, i have washed and refrigerated 7 of them and there are still 4 in the nest. If i put the other 7 in the nest will they still hatch? Its been 1 egg a day so the oldest has been in the fridge for about a week and a half now. I know they are all fertile...
