Rinsed eggs...incubatable?

[Kadjain]

I collected eggs and rinsed them in cold well water then realized I wanted to incubate the eggs from my leghorns. Are they still ok to incubate?

Probably will do fine as long as they are fertile.

Since millions and millions of eggs are washed, then hatched, in the industry, I see no reason to be concerned.

However, it is far better to rinse eggs under warm water, not cold, whether for hatching or eating.

Coolness, thanks. I wasn't sure if I rinsed off the "bloom" or not.
