Who it's going to set eggs this week?

[Pancholoco]

I got 8 Chocolate orpington eggs from a local breeder near me, and he bought his flock directly from Greenfire Farms. So I'm going to try my luck with these eggs

, I hope all of them are fertile. I set these eggs on 4/01/13.

I've got my hands on 12 Ameracauna X eggs and 2 Chinese geese eggs, all to go into my incubator tomorrow. They are rather filthy -- what's the recommended method for cleaning/prepping eggs prior to incubating? Because the eggs were just layed today, I'm holding them for a day at about 8 C.
Can I just run them under warm water, or should I soak them with a bit of detergent for a few minutes?

I'm starting my first batch late tomorrow night, can't wait! I'll be setting about 18 eggs from my own flock (Speckled Sussex roo + EE, Light Brahma, and Black Star) plus 11 from the friend who adopted my EE rooster (she has EEs and RIRs.) Also got a dozen more EE eggs and some barnyard mixes from a local CSA farm.

I started a hatch-a-long thread, please join in!
