So, here's how the chick hatching went, without the death...
First, we have the eggs...
Then the chicks make a hole to start hatching...
Then the chick pushes out of the shell...
And once they dry off, they are cute and fluffy!
Overall, a fascinating process. It would have been much more fun if more than five chicks had survived. Five died after hatching, and two never hatched at all.

I wonder what the survival rate is if they are actually born with their mother. It can't be much better.
