hatchers
Brooders of eggs
Hatchers are people or devices that hatch things—typically eggs or plans.
In poultry farming, a hatcher is an incubator where eggs complete their final stage before chicks emerge.
The word also applies to anyone who hatches schemes or plots: The hatchers of the conspiracy met in secret.
