I've read that ciliatus eggs have been known hatch 3-4 weeks apart. Personally speaking, I would just candle the egg without picking it up, just to see if there is anything in side. At this stage, you shouldn't see much glow when you candle the egg.

More importantly, I'd consider the egg good and just wait for the baby to pip the egg or for the egg to start molding. It will do one or the other within a couple weeks, at the longest.

It's probably just a difference in genetics...Just like some siblings grow differently, these could be growing at a different rate in the egg.
