So this is the first time one of my chickens has gone broody, I ordered fertilized eggs online.. They were delivered yesterday afternoon, and there was a note to let the eggs sit at room temperature for 12-24 hrs and to NOT wash them. The eggs are dirty, and I am just curious if I should wash them before placing under my broody.
 
nope! dont wash them, that would remove the bloom and could allow bacteria to enter the egg.
