Officials said the chicks hatched on March 7 and while they are downy gray, the chicks will quickly turn black as their feathers develop.

"The chicks are growing very fast and will be almost as large as their parents in six weeks," officials said on the county's website. "Their arrival is especially exciting since it marks the first-time eaglets have hatched at the Manasquan Reservoir since 2014."
