Both eaglets are gaining weight and growing two important body parts! Their beaks and mid-toes are growing larger, and their legs and footpads have turned from pink to yellow. D29 is upping its food game with larger bites, while D30 refuses (for now) a subordinate role in the pecking order and food line. D30 is on the left and D29 is on the right.
Although the eaglets are very close in age, D29 has a larger beak than D30. Since food is the root of all else besides, it isn't surprising that eaglets' beaks start growing right away. D29's larger beak allows it to manipulate and accept larger pieces of food, which helps fuel its fantastic growth rate. If we assume an even weight gain, D29 should weigh a little more than 5 ounces today.
