If you look at a penguin, they have a white chest and belly and most have a white outline around their eyes. That is why we call the chicks penguin chicks. These most often for me have the best coloring in the coppers.

OK, thanks. I get it now. Glad you said you like to see that---I was thinking chicks like that were to be culled

Now if they grow out to look like Penguins, you may want to consider culling!

haha true enough. When I lived in New Zealand they had penguin crossings that you had to stop at if they were going across the road. It was always so funny to see people stopping for them as they waddled along.

I wish I would have gotten a pic of them, but only had a film camera back then and didn't take it with me when going to work. here's a pic I found of some of the signs you'd see

It sure has to be cuter than the tarantula crossings when they migrate! A long, wide black line, as far as the eye could see from left to right, and crossing the highway. I was driving back from a day trip to Mexico, and got into Las Cruces, NM and saw this from a distance. I asked the guy I was with, "what is that line?" He told me don't stop, just keep on driving! Of course being young and stupid, I didn't listen, and stopped in the middle of it!

Poor Fred was like, "DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIIIVVVVEEEE!!!!" Shut the air vents and windows too, as they were climbing all over the hood of the Blazer! I will never forget that as long as I live!
