What is the difference?

What is the difference between an incubator and a hatcher? Just curious.

My understanding of it is an incubator is where you initially set your eggs and keep them until lock down and then the hatcher is where you put the eggs at lock down to hatch out in.

There isn't a lot of difference - its mainly just for people who are hatching a LOT and need to free up the incubator so they can get the next batch going. I only have one - I incubate and hatch in the same unit. But I only do the occasional small hatch.
