incubating goose eggs - few questions...

[spish]

ive never incubated goose eggs before so would like some pointers please....

do i need to wash the eggs first? (they are pretty dirty with dried on mud/muck)
do they have to lie on their side in the incubator or can i stand them up on one end? (then i could fit more in...)
do they take 28 or 35 days? im finding conflicting 'times', when would i know to stop turning them?
do i need to spray them with water???
ive also read about 'cooling off' times for goose eggs (15mins per day ?)

can i put goose eggs in an incubator with Turkey eggs?


thanks in advance
