I got some meaties today!! How old? pics QUESTION post 12

So, I had placed an order with Welp for 25 cornish cross pullets.  Unfortunately due to their availability and my work schedule, I would not be able to get them until the end of March which would but processing at the end of May.  In Florida, hot muggy yuckiness. 

So, I woke up early today and started researching where I may be able to buy some locally.  TSC is 1.5 hours away from me so that was a last resort.  I found a feed store about 35 miles from me and called them to see if they had any cornish X in.  They counted and said they had 16, I asked if they could hold them for me and I had to prepay over the phone (which was fine).

I assembled my brooder and headed out.

They packed them up and after counting 16 there was 1 left so I said I'd take it too.  They were $2 each, so I spent a little more than I had wanted but also figure the feed store took any losses after shipping.  But I got 17 babies that will be ready to process in April.

They did not remember a precise hatch date and thought they were between 1-2 weeks old.  I searched on BYC and found some pics of 1.5 week olds.  They are similar in size but some have kind of long wing feathers (1.5-2") and some tail feathers and others have short (.5-.75") wing feathers.

Here are pics of the different feathering.  Any idea of more precise ages?

Thanks.  Unfortunately, I don't have a small scale though I may look for one.

More than one and less than two weeks looks right.

They get chicks weekly and it didn't seem like they kept track of what came when.  When I talked to them they said 1-2 weeks so I was guesstimating 1.5 weeks to cover that.  It amazes me that for people who should be knowledgable about these things, they have no idea.
