So, I used to raise chickens for years before I had to move. I'm finally able to have chicks again, but I am limited to a small backyard coop. Big change since my previous chickens were free range. Anyway, I got three chicks from Tractor Supply the end of May. Supposed to be an Easter Egger, a barred rock, and a Cinnamon Queen. The EE just started laying a few days ago. My other two, they are less than half the size of her. I have never seen anything like it. Started thinking bantam maybe? But not sure. Also not sure if the CQ is really a CQ. Attaching a few pics. Hopefully someone can help. Scratching my head over this... Thanks!!

Old English Game bantam. Bantam means small
Thanks! I knew the bantam part , but I'm rusty on my chicken-ese and didnt catch the oeg. I googled it and the one really does look like this. And I got an egg today that I would expect to see if so. The black and white one looks exactly like a barred rock, but mini version. Is there a such thing as bantam barred rock?
