You're right that most birds imprint on the 1st thing they see. However, "megapodes are[...]superprecocial, emerging from the nest fully feathered and able to fly, run, and claw. In fact, the chicks claw their way out of the nest, using their powerful feet to break open the egg and then worming through the layers of organic material used for incubation. The chicks are capable of immediately scattering to live independently, which causes them to skip the imprinting process which other birds experience" ( www.allthingsnature.org/what-are-megapodes.htm ). The implication seems to be that Amphibia's roc is superprecocial.
