    quite a few of these penguins have scruffy white spots on their fur in areas that should only be black. They may have some sort of disease or parasite maybe?

    Ah, no. They are in a process of moulting. All penguins, both adults and chicks, moult at about the same time of the year. Check out the FAQs for more information 😃
