June Peachick Hatching

A nesting peahen is shown, along with her nest of eggs which she had on the roof of the restroom building, adjacent to the Celebration Garden at the L.A. Arboretum. The peachick hatching is then shown. The first 3 chicks hatched ahead of the 4th chick. The 4th chick hatched late at night or early the next morning and was therefore depicted as weak and show to move, compared to the other 3 chicks. All 4 chicks flew successfully down from the roof the morning after hatching, and by late afternoon the 4th chick was doing much better. All 4 chicks were doing great the next morning!
