I got some chicks from rural king and they were suppost to be barred rock pullets. They are getting their wing feathers and tail feathers. But they dont seem to be growing compaired to my other chicks. Is a barred rock a slow growing chick or could i have bantams? They are around two weeks old, give or take a day or two.

Bantam chicks are very small, I would say they are just not growing. My bantam chicks don't get that big (your 1st pic of the chick in your hand) for at least a month, sometimes longer.

ETA: And at that size, if it was bantam it would have most of its feathers
