Very small. Maybe size of a 50 cent piece or silver dollar size. Of course just a guess. Some can be larger, some smaller.

They're very tiny as hatchlings, it's one of the things that makes them cool.

When I got my two Stinkpots they were about the size of a nickle. They are very cute turtles. I love mine. :)

I added up the average time musks were born and i found out that mine would be about 4 to 5 months old when i get it, so hopefully it'll be small. :)

Gerard posted an excellent photo/size comparison.
Mine was about the size of my thumbnail when I first got it. TINY!! I couldn't believe how small it was.
