We have a king penguin to color. Do you know what caring for offspring is like in penguins? The egg is laid alternately by the male and female for about 55 days. The parents hold the egg on their feet and cover it with an abdominal fold. They alternate every 6-18 days. After hatching, the chicks are still kept on the parents' feet for 30-40 days until they develop down and are able to regulate body temperature.
