Eli shares pictures of a Humboldt penguin hatching

I DECIDED to share these lovely photos from Chester Zoo of a Humboldt penguin hatching. The pictures show the egg being held by a keeper as a chick makes its way out of its shell. Weighing just 87g, baby chick Rooney, named after footballer Wayne, is one of the first Humboldt penguins to hatch at the zoo this year. Last year’s clutch were named after characters from the TV show Dr Who. This year they are named after past and present stars of the football World Cup.
