The 4 eyases, or at least the eldest one are 11 days old now already. They are growing rapidly. Pa catches prey and S2 feeds the chicks. She is very protective, and keeps the 4 babies under her wings, or against her warm chest. They get a lot of food. S2 enjoys feeding them, so when the finally sleep S2 is already there again with the next meal. She takes extra care of the last born, so he is in perfect shape as well. She hardly lets Pa near the babies, she grabs the prey he delivers and off he is again.
By day 11, the beak is already beginning to acquire a slightly yellow tinge, as opposed to the pink colour it has had to this point in the chick's development
