We have two chicks that are about 6 months old. One has not started laying yet but the other has been laying little eggs for about two weeks. Could she be a bantam? Or is she still getting used to egg laying?
 
If she is a small bodied bird she is a bantam. The eggs will get get larger too, but never reach the size of a large fowl.
 
If she is laying she is near full size, if she is as big as your Large Fowl (LF) she is not a bantum. Bantams are smaller bodied than their LF cousins.
