Today the eldest chick is 12 days old.
There are two main changes that it will have undergone. The main change is in its plumage, which will now change to its denser second coat which is downy and white. This keeps it warmer so that, eventually, the female can leave to go hunting herself.
The chick also opens its eyes for short periods from today. It must look like a strange world!
