What is the number of offspring for the pelican?

Pelicans can't have babies. The female pelican can lay up to six eggs, but usually she lays two eggs, plus or minus 1.

Pelican eggs hatch into pelican chicks. But statistically, in a safe colony of pelicans, only 95% of the eggs can be expected to produce chicks.

However, for various reasons, pelican chicks also have a high mortality rate. So, generally, beyond the first three weeks, only one chick per pair of adult pelicans usually survives.
