I am very happy to report that no more chicks have been killed and further more, the 2 remaining ones have grown quite nicely and now have matching colors with their parents (see below)

The chicks were already standing on the 1st of July:
Notes & Observations: while I do not have a picture for this it was interesting to note that sometimes now even the parents will try to sit on the chicks but as they are so big they are hardly covered anymore and they are easily seen at least on camera. Having their matching colors may make the parent look bigger overall though and may act as a defense, but no study has been done to my knowledge to confirm this.
