A penguin only ever lays one egg at a time, but some species lay two eggs several days apart.

The Emperor Penguin and the King Penguin lay just one egg.

All other species lay two eggs, although in several species, the first egg often does not hatch or is not incubated. This is the case for the Erect-Crested Penguin, the Macaroni Penguin, the Royal Penguin, the Snares Penguin and the Rockhopper Penguin. Galapagos Penguins may lay either 1 or 2 eggs.
Penguins can only lay up to one or two eggs per year, but the Emporer and King Penguin can only have up to one egg per year
one a year for most breeds.

Keeping it warm is a full time job.

penguins have only one (1) egg per year that they mate.

If a penguin has more than one egg, one will die, or it will care for neither properly.
Depending on the type of penguin and the size of the egg, penguins lay either one or two eggs at a time, which they hatch.

'Having babies' is not usually used as descriptive terminology for birds: laying and hatching eggs is appropriate.
normally, penguins only have one chick at a time, but they can have two (it is VERY rare for a pengui to have two chicks at one time.)
1 per pair
