Breeding cycles (chicks --> adults)

• by yshish moderator, translator

  I created breeding cycles* for each species to help you get 'oriented', so you can check when to expect eggs or chicks in the images.

  Adélie penguins:
  

  Chinstrap penguins:
  

  Southern gentoo penguins:
  

  Northern gentoo penguins:
  

  Rockhoppers
  

  I'm not going to create any breeding cycle graphic for the king penguins, since their eggs are very well hidden under their bodies and their chicks can be present during the entire year.

  The tutorial/initial orientation should include a link to this!

  This is great. Are there any pictures of the eggs? Are they not usually under the parent's feet ?

  I agree with singingway, include in the tutorial, or make readily available, at the bottom of each image

  Hi guys,

  I can ask, but can't promise you they will add that link to the tutorial.

  As for the eggs, they can be white or beige or just dirty.. usually inside the nest/at the feet of the parent but sometimes outside the nest when abandoned. They can rarely be seen, but please, don't mark any eggs unless you can really see some.

  Thanks!

  Zuzi
