The difference between those two breeds is that Hamburgs have a rose comb and Campines have single combs. I can't tell which yours has by the pic, but it's a pullet. Though sometimes rose-comb breeds from hatcheries have single combs because of fertility issues with the rose-combs. Where'd you get it.
 
Are both breeds bantams? She is very small, six weeks old
 
I bought from private owner who bought from McMurray ornamental collection
Than it could be either. Can you tell the comb type?

I think they come in both a standard and bantam size. But the standard size is rather small, too.
 
No, they are not bantams, but they are a light breeds so they will be fairly small. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like she has a rose comb so I'm thinking Gold Pencilled Hamburg.

Could be. And they do come in bantam sizes. 

I know they come in bantam size too. Murray McMurray doesn't carry bantam Golden Campines or bantam Gold Pencilled Hamburgs which is where the OP received chicks from.
