It looks like the upstage penguin still has an unhatched egg, plus one cute baby.

I think twins are quite common as 2 eggs are usually laid. If food is plentiful, parents will put equal effort into raising both chicks.
reference: http://www.penguins.cl/gentoo-penguins.htm

In what I call the "upstage" nest furthest from the camera, I don't think one egg is viable, as the 2 eggs usually hatch within 24 hours of each other.

We seem to have a new view - I wonder if the penguins knocked the cam?

You can see 2 chicks in front of the penguin up on the corner of the concrete structure
