cleaning eggs before incubating?

You could try keeping your hens inside til you fill your incubator

The heat doesn't hurt the eggs, at all? That's interesting! I just received some gorgeous hatching eggs in the mail and a there were a couple of broken eggs in the box. The eggs aren't real dirty but there is some (not much) egg white and a little yolk on the rest of the eggs. Would it be better to wash them now (while it's still wet) or wait until tomorrow just before I put them in the incubator.

Mine would be as hot as my hands could stand..... My water heater is HOT
Other than that, we do the same. I also wet them all once before going back an washing them all. Just seems to work better.

It would take the better part of 10 minutes in scalding water to get the egg up to the dreaded 104* No worrys there, my water heater does not hold that much water lol
