"A rare chick has been hatched and raised by a same-sex penguin couple at Chester Zoo.

"The Humboldt chick is one of 10 to have hatched at the zoo, in what it described as a 'bumper year for penguins'.

"Scampi and Flounder, a pair of male penguins, 'stepped in to help raise one of two eggs laid by another penguin pair, Wotsit and Peach', the zoo said.

"The chicks are said to now be days away from taking to the water for the first time."
