Well, some good news. The smaller chick seems to have grown in the three days since I was last there. Big Hook fed them almost equally and I didn't observe any conflict between them.

In this first shot, Big Hook has just taken delivery of a live fish. The youngest chick, closest to Big Hook is still covered in the buff-coloured down. Right on schedule, the older chick is losing the down and is taking on the less than cute reptilian phase.
