We think that 3 out of 4 of Owlivias eggs have hatched, though it may only be 2. The first chick hatched 1 week before the others and is now large enough to sit next to her. He or she can be seen trying to nibble on the numerous mice bodies. We were worried that the difference in size might mean he/she would pick on the smaller ones to compete for food but this is a good year for mice and there is plenty to eat.
The young chick can also stretch his/her wings now that there is more space available.
