One of my old, old Easter-eggers, Wynne, laid an egg today! 
Not too shabby for a nearly 12-year-old hen! She laid a total of 3 eggs in the span of about 2 months around this time of year last year, so we'll see if she breaks her record or not!

All eggs in lock down are drawn down now! Based on the previous hatches, that means there's about 12 hours until external pips happen and probably around 28-36 hours until they hatch!! At least, assuming they didn't draw down immediately after I checked last night, of course.

No change in the eggs yet, but I almost forgot the weekly pictures for the already hatched babies, so here are those!
The three-week-olds; it's early to be too confident in this, but it looks like a pullet and a cockerel out of these two:
The two-week-olds:
And the one-week-olds:
And this reminds me that I haven't taken pictures of last year's birds since, what, February? So I'll have to try to remember to do that at some point soon!

Three air breathers finally! I guess they just wanted to prove me wrong on my timing estimate!!
(The third pip is kind of visible in the background of this picture, just hard to get a good clear shot of on its own.)

I went up to check progress again and there's a baby!

Went up thinking I'd see if that baby was dry enough to move out to the brooder before the others hatched and, well, the next one was hatching. 
Here's the second baby! Thank goodness she decided to develop a more patterned beak so I can tell her from the first baby!
(Also sorry for the terrible picture--getting a clear shot where neither of them was moving turned out to be impossible!

Moved the two hatched out to the brooder with last week's peeps. They're sleepy and staying under the heater so far, not much to get pictures of, so instead here is feeding time for the older kiddos in there.
