Baby penguins must first molt -- loose their downy feathers, which if wet, would drown the bird because they hold too much water before they can feed themselves.
Molting happens about two months after the baby hatches -- depending on the type of penguin and the location, and the molting process takes about three weeks.
Then the babies can dive into the open water with their parents and learn how to find food on their own by watching.
Since penguins live in groups, it's fair to say that baby penguins always learn from adult penguins, even when the adult might not be their mum or papa.
