they don't, they just stay together during breeding season and protect the eggs


Penguins do not hibernate. The males cluster once the females lay their eggs, and hold the eggs on the tops of their webbed feet -- off the ice -- then flop a fat layer of their bellies over the eggs to keep them warm. This cluster of animals is always in motion, since the animals want to protect themselves and each other from the furious winds that blow around their rookeries.

Meanwhile, the females walk to the open ocean to regain the weight they've lost during the mating season.
