Is this Easter Egger off and/or an accidental bantam?

This is our first EE(meet Bunny :) )
and she’s a little different than I expected. She’s 19 weeks and has 8 SLW’s and BO companions that we got at the same time. She keeps up with the other pullets in every way. Doesn’t appear to have any obvious difficulties.

My questions:
She’s smaller than the other pullets of the same age and I was of the understanding that many EE’s are huge. Is she actually a bantam or is this normal?

Her left side(front of her breast) is lopsided and jutting forward. It’s not her crop. Her neck is almost non-existent. Is this an issue?

Her tail is obviously cocked to one side. Will that be an issue?

She’s beautiful. But she does look like she has scoliosis or something. I would not hatch eggs from her. My Americana/EEs are pretty good sized so not sure about that. They do have bantam ees though. But she’s probably just a runt or weaker specimen. She’s really pretty though.
 
Eh, my EE weren't "huge" but they were pretty average sized. I had some a bit bigger then others but none were bantam sized or even close. She does look a bit lopsided however. I can't comment on what it could be as it's a bit outside of my knowledge. But she has a very pretty pattern regardless. 😊
 
There are bantam EE'S however. I'd contact wherever you got them from and ask what they were breeding/selling at the time that you got her.
