Incubating Thick Shelled Eggs

[-Clementine-]

Hello, as seen from the title, I am going to attempt to hatch a couple of my thick shelled maran eggs. This will be my first time hatching chicks, and is there anything different you have to do for thicker shelled eggs?

Hi! Not really. You can run a bit higher humidity during the last week to help soften the shells though.

Oh, and make sure to count you first day as day 0. I find that is a common mistake for people hatching eggs. You may already know, but though I would say it anyway. I am pretty sure I saw that some were around here, is that correct @MGG?

X2, today is day 0, tomorrow is day 1.
I'm not understanding the question...
Sorry
