Summary of Description:
The little blue penguin nursery is busy with the hand-rearing of four chicks, requiring around-the-clock feedings. The first clutch of eggs is removed and hand-reared to give the chicks the best chance of survival. The penguins then lay a second clutch, which they incubate and raise themselves.

Hand-Rearing Chicks Around the Clock!
The little blue penguin nursery is full of activity, and the bird team is working hard to ensure the survival of 4 precious chicks. However, the process of hand-rearing these chicks comes with its own set of challenges and requires round-the-clock feedings.
Why Hand-Rearing Chicks?
To maximize the survival chances of the little blue penguin chicks, the first clutch of eggs is removed and hand-reared. This ensures that the new-borns are adequately nourished and cared for without being subject to the harsh realities of the outside world. Meanwhile, the penguins lay a second clutch that they can raise and incubate themselves.
The Busy Process of Hand-Rearing
Hand-rearing four little blue penguin chicks requires non-stop attention, expertise and a lot of patience. The bird team feeds the chicks with specially formulated food every few hours, day and night, to ensure their constant growth and nourishment.
