Many penguin chicks separate from their parents once their waterproof feathers are grown and they can hunt on their own. For some penguin species it only takes 7 to 10 weeks for feathers and hunting skills to develop. Adult King penguins raise their chicks for 15 months, while yellow-eyed penguins keep their offspring close through their first molting plus 12 months.
