Penguins' feet are where eggs are hatched, covered by the belly flap of fat that the penguin parents flop over the top of the egg to keep it warm.
Notably, Emperor Penguin males hatch eggs this way, so the females can trek off to open water to feed.
It is tricky for penguins to keep their eggs warm in the cold climate of Antarctica, and they have to hold the egg on top of their feet rather than allowing it to touch the ice. This can only be managed with one egg at a time.
The only thing they have to make nests out of is ice, and putting their eggs on ice would destroy them almost instantly.
