Best Answer

The Emperor Penguin lays a single egg each breeding season, which takes place in winter The male incubates the egg while the female goes out to feed in the ocean, and she generally does not return until spring. Incubation takes around 65 days, and during this time, the male survives on his own reserves of fat.

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.
