I know with my free ranging peahens... usually when they sit on a nest, and their chicks hatch - I find the peahen a bit away from the nest with her chicks in tow. I go check the nest and usually two or three of the four hatched egg shells are gone. No evidence of them anywhere. I just assumed the peahen ate the empty shell herself.

Here we are in August. The "adoptive" mother (who originally had one chick of her own) is still with my two "abandoned" chicks. Her slightly younger chick disappeared shortly after she adopted "mine." Interesting (!!) update. The mother of the adopted chicks returned, and reunited with her chicks. She and "auntie" have those 2 chicks in tow... so they now have 2 mothers.
