No. Washing them may damage the protective coating on the eggs.

Just use a stiff brush or dry paper towel to get off the big chunks.

Ducks/geese are pretty bad at producing/keeping clean eggs--trust me!

Sometimes, I will take a damp cloth and get off the worst parts but usually, I just leave them...if they are super-filthy they probably should not be incubated.
