Washing eggs for the incubator... How do you do it?

[kathyinmo]

I believe I read an article about washing hatching eggs using Oxine. I have never done it though. I don't wash mine.

I never wash eggs. I brush off any extra stuff. I ship them the way I collect them too.

Okay this is the real and only true answer to this question, first I must ask are you using dads incubator? If so then you have to follow dads directions, if not then do what you feel is right.

My Opinion, so take it for what its worth:

Seems most do not wash thier eggs, have you ever seen a mother hen wash eggs? Not me, So I dont, if they are dirty enough to need washing they do not go in the incubator with the exception of guinea and turkey eggs both of which seem to like to lay eggs in mud for some reason, those get SANDED with a green scrubbie thing(sorta like a brillo pad but not metal)
