4:23 Feeding time. The adult started feeding the one at the "back" first, but then seemed to give much more to the one in the foreground. Just when I thought it was really uneven, she switched back to the first one again. In the end, they seemed to get almost the same.

Looked quite even to me too... don't be surprised though if there are some feedings that 1 gets the lions share and the other very little. It's natural for there to be sibling rivalry. As long as there is a consistent supply of food available it will all 'even out' in the long run. Watching the hungry chick figure out how to get his fair share is always cause for celebration. They get very quick and clever and find amazing ways to get at mom to be fed.
