Is this a bantam chicken??

So, the chicken on the right with arrow pointed to it is 3.5 weeks old. We got backyard mix eggs and it hatched out of one. The other two on the left are 2.5 weeks old and they are from a hatchery. But somehow they are the same size?? It’s just barely started getting its tail feathers which I know could mean it’s a rooster but I’m more interested in the fact that it is the exact same size as chicks that are a week younger. It was a small chick when it hatched and it’s developed way slower than any of our other chicks. Was thinking it might be a bantam but not sure lol

It appears the same size of the others, tail feathers don't mean a thing at this age.

Maybe a picture of feet would help? Does he/she have black skin?

It is the same size except the fact that it’s a whole week older than the other ones haha that’s why I’m confused

I would doubt that she’s a bantam but it will be easier to see when she’s fully feathered.

It could be a bit runty, or part bantam, depending on the breeds the farm had.
