Yes, the chicks are completely ignored.
After the eggs are laid the male does all of the work. Decaying vegetation in the mound provides incubation warmth. The male has a very good temperature sensor in his beak and is constantly fiddling with the mound, keeping the temperature right for the eggs.
The five from yesterday have all vanished - will see what happens today.
