They are refereed to as a "colony"

BUT........ After the female penguin lays her eggs it is the male that lays on the eggs for four months. When male penguins are doing this and are all huddled together they are referred to as a "turtle" of penguins!

" Particularity: after the laying, males take care of the sitting. During their 4 months fasting they loose half their weight (20kg). In order to minimize heat loss, the males gather together in 'turtles' that can be as dense as 10 individuals/m² during storms. "
