I think there may be two chicks. One chick is normal for Bald Eagles, and two is pretty common. If three eggs hatch, one of the chicks is eventually forked out of the nest, as there’s no room for more than two. The chicks actually end up very slightly larger than their parents at the time of leaving the nest, as Mother Nature compensates for weak wing muscles in youth by giving the first feathers a slightly longer length.
