Are you saying people do this for hogs?

I've seen it done (to the baby's benefit) with the occasional egg that does not hatch when all of its siblings did hatch. That is an uncommon situation.

I've seen it routinely done with retics (those super-pricey morphs) with apparently no harm to the babies, and we are speaking of large clutches.

The rumor is it is a way to reduce the number of babies found fully developed but dead in the egg.
