Are my chicks growing properly?

Hi so I have two 13 weeks old RIR pullets and they seem fairly small to me I've only raised meat chickens so I'm used to big chickens could anyone tell me if they are the correct size
When they were between 4 and 8 weeks old I did have to limit their food because at the time I had a meat hen there who would bully them so that they wouldn't eat the food and she would be eating their food constantly so I would go out there three times a day with food for them so that could eat but that could be why they are still small but after that, I did leave the food out there the whole day and they still and will always have food available the whole day

Their names are Ratatouille and Ratty Patty

They look pretty large for rats, but I'm not a rat expert.

I named them with rat names because when I got them I was watching that movie and I was like "I like that name" that's what I named them lol

I think that they look normal for non meat birds.

Yay! I think it's because I have never raised a normal bird I was supposed to get egg layers but TSC gave me meat chickens instead so I always thought that that's what a normal chicken would look like lol.
