    Weight out of the egg some weighs in at 40 grams while some weighs in at 90, how fast they take their first meal on their own some will do soon as their first shed and some will 6 to 8 weeks later, after that you have skip meals, fast etc, and most importantly genetics some are predisposed to be a lot bigger than others.

    Worry less about weight and more about overall proportions.
