Male penguins lay the eggs in this species. There are two eggs laid at a time. The king penguin lays only one egg. An egg is held on top of the feet and is kept warm by a layer of skin at the bottom of the penguin.
Penguins are very social birds. Rookeries (nesting areas) may contain thousands of individual birds. Even at sea, they tend to swim and feed in groups. Being birds, female penguins lay eggs after mating. Most species of penguins build nests, but the nests may consist only of a pile of rocks or scrapings or hollows in the dirt. Emperor penguins do not build nests; males hold the egg on top of their feet under a fold of skin called a brood patch. Penguin chicks have big appetites and grow quickly, many soon becoming almost as big as their parents. Penguin chicks have a short time before they are independent of adults.
