Hello Bassiana,
It is very hard to tell between adults or chicks in this picture. Some may be fledging chicks, and some moulting adults. Once the chicks have fledged and then have that typical white head marking, it is very hard to tell between chick and adult. If in doubt we ask you to mark the penguin as an 'adult'.
You might find this breeding cycle diagram a help: http://talk.penguinwatch.org/#/boards/BPZ0000002/discussions/DPZ00002pg
Happy counting!
