hatchings
Baby birds emerging
Hatchings are young animals that have recently emerged from eggs—chicks, turtles, fish, or other egg-laying species: The hatchings made their way across the sand toward the water.
In art and drafting, hatchings are parallel lines drawn to create shading or indicate different materials on a map or technical drawing.
