hatched
Broke the shell
Hatched describes something that has emerged from an egg, or a plan that has been devised: The chicks hatched overnight, a newly hatched scheme.
In art and drafting, hatched means marked with parallel lines for shading or texture: The map showed hills with hatched contours.
Cross-hatched uses intersecting lines for deeper shading.
