Yeah, I heard of this and what's more, I've heard that the one that started out the smallest, actually grew to be the biggest in the litter and the one who was the biggest, ended up the smallest. In other words, birth weight is not a good indicator of adult size. Since you are weighing them at 8 weeks, you have a better predictor of adult weight, but do you know the ancestors, weights? Many breeders recommend knowing around 5 generations of weights before you make predictions. Anyway, I think what you have is well within the average spread. It would be interesting to see their weights at 2 years.
