Hatch has been a respected surname in the town for generations.

The biologist documented several hatchings along the river during spring.

She cross-hatched the empty spaces of the sketch to create depth.

The chicks hatched, the DNA samples matched, and the emergency supplies were dispatched within hours.

Before the storm, the captain ordered the crew to secure the after-hatches to prevent flooding.

The crew sealed the after-hatch before we set out into the storm.

We clinked our glasses and shouted 'down the hatch' before swallowing the shots.

The charity runs a network of baby hatches across the region to provide a safe, anonymous option for parents in crisis.

In medieval times, the convent installed a baby hatch where desperate mothers could leave their infants anonymously.
