Getting their adult feathers

  • TubbyPanda by TubbyPanda

    Are we counting ones that have mostly got their adult feathers but still have a little down feathers as adults or chicks?

    Hi- Have a read-through of the FAQs, where we are asked to mark as adult any time we are not certain whether penguins are adult or chicks. The example of moulting birds is specifically mentioned there. 😃 Unless you see chick markings (specifically head markings and under chin, or brown down for Kings,etc.) mark moulting birds as adult, please.

    I'd mark all here as adult.
