hatches
Brood finally emerges
Hatches is the plural of hatch, with meanings that cluster around openings and emergence.
A hatch is a door or opening in a floor, ceiling, deck, or aircraft: battening down the hatches, escape hatch.
To hatch is to emerge from an egg, or for an egg to produce young: The chicks hatched this morning.
Figuratively, to hatch a plan or scheme is to devise it secretly: They hatched a plot to overthrow the government.
In art, hatching means drawing fine parallel lines to create shading.
