The smaller can no longer stand up.
Black Stork Ciconia nigra
It all started last night, when the youngest hatchling, who probably hatched later, could not want to get up as his/her siblings. A certain sluggishness in behavior could be noticed a little earlier, but it could also be blamed on the heat.
It's sad to see the torment of a bird, but unfortunately things happen so in wild nature and we can't interfere.

The Black Stork nest is situated in Jõgeva County in Estonia. We have known this breeding territory since the late 1990s, when black storks successfully nested here for many years.

Summary in Estonian written by Urmas Sellis

In March, before installing the web camera in the nest, we waited impatiently for the start of male bird Karl’s migration. Karl did have a tracking device but the lack of GSM cover in southern Sudan kept us in the dark during four months, from mid-November 2018 when Karl reached his wintering site. However, on March 16 during the spring migration Karl’s locations were registered and all seemed to be in order. We had nearly two weeks of time to install the camera at the nest. The nest could be seen in the web camera from March 24 onwards.

… And so was the departure
Black stork Must-toonekurg Ciconia nigra
Young stork Aru left the nest today probably on its migration, on the ninety-thirrd day of nest life.
Yesterday the young bird wasn’t fed by male Karl, probably he too has gone on his migration.

The young bird Aru (letter A on the leg number) has injured the underside of its wing on its test flights but the slight tear seems to be healing. It is the bird that spends most of its time in the nest. The other young bird can be seen in early morning
Black stork Must-toonekurg Ciconia nigra
The young birds were 86 days old today, next week they will be three months on August 16. The migration period should be starting for the young birds.

In early morning they set off on flights but the young birds must be back in the nest around eight o’clock because male Karl might come to the nest with the early morning prey about then. Who arrives too late in the nest may be left without food – and who wants that.
