  Hi, @Lilo82 . There are actually no chicks showing here. The Gentoo penguins are still brooding eggs, and any chicks that have hatched would need to be protected under the belly of a parent.

  Perhaps you are thinking of the grey-looking penguin between the two facing us with white bellies showing? That's another adult, splashed with a neighbour's poo, making it look odd.

  Have you found the FAQs yet? It's the first item listed under "Discussion Boards. I'll help you with a link. Read the Frequently Asked Questions here! In the FAQs you can find Breeding cycles, learn how to tell a chick from an adult for different species, and many other helps needed for accurate marking.
