36 + 1 small one (which I dont think I should use). Most are clean, but a few are dirty. Should I wipe the dirty ones, leave them be or dont use? There is one XXL one in the upper right corner.

Is the small one a pullet egg?

Nice assortment of eggs you have there.

I've heard it's best not to wipe, but oyu should probably let more experienced members weigh in.

I dont think so. It has the waxy cuticle on it so I am fairly certain its a duck egg.

That's a lot of eggs! It will be interesting to track development and hatch on them since you have a variety of sizes. I've heard it's best to just buff them with a clean cloth or dry paper towel to get any soil off of them. But best not to wash and remove the bloom if you can avoid it.

I was thinking about doing the dry paper towel only on the dirtiest ones.

I understand the abbreviations for texting, but I'm too old to care.
IKR makes my skin crawl. That is the equivalent of saying "I really don't care enough about what you said to have a comment, or I'm too dumb to formulate my own opinion". And it always ends on an up inflection. Dumb, dumb, dumb

Reminds me if the whole "Valley Girl" thing. Yuck
