Reading the comments farther down on the page, they indicate that there is quite a difference in age as well with the oldest being two weeks and the youngest 6/7 days.

When I look I usually see between 2 and 4 chicks, although they have 6 chicks. Probably the littlest are tucked down low. There was a person at the nest site yesterday (human on camera) who confirmed the 6 chicks.

CBC has a story and link to a live camera on a Snowy Owl's nest in the Arctic.

The fluffy grey chicks are quite cute.

Thank you for sharing this. The little chicks are very cute.  There seems to be quite a difference in size amongst the chicks - some fairly big compared to a couple of tiny ones.
