At the tip of it's beak is a hard point called an 'egg tooth'. When it starts to hatch, it uses this egg tooth to poke through the shell and then it gradually makes it way out. It needs to use every muscle in it's body to get out; no one should help it while it's hatching even if it looks like it won't make it out by itself.
