1250 gram of food each grown chick needs now per day!
An enormous achievement of the parent animals to supply so much food, if you consider, that for three chicks nearly 4 kilogram of food have to be brought every day plus the 500 gram which each parent animals needs for itself:

… have to make my business!":
