collected eggs

[luluann]

OK so I decided today that my hen has no interest in sitting on her eggs. So I sent dbf out to collect egg And place plastic Easter eggs in her box. Now my question is this how long should I wait before I put them in my incubator?

I would leave them about 24 hours or so to let them settle

One more question can I hatch dirty eggs. Read online dirty one would not hatch. Could I possible wipe them off with a dry wash cloth
