How Old Are My Chicks

I am wondering how old my chicks are. I got them from TSC on the 6th of April and was told they were two weeks when I picked them up. They'd be a month old this Saturday by the TSC calculations but they don't have a lot of feathering. I'll let my fellow chicken lovers give their opinions on my chicks.

 
No way those are a month old. Maybe TSC misspoke and they were two days old. Mine are 3 1/2 weeks and are much larger and more feathered than that. Those look like they are about 2 weeks now.

I might peg them at 3 weeks, but not much older. I wouldn't take what TSC said as gospel. Not that it all matters a whole bunch. A week either way is not a big deal. For memory purposes and to make it easy, just say they were hatched on April first, April Fool's Day. Why not.

Thanks Chick farm and Fred's Hens. I will just say they were hatched on April 1st. Its not a huge deal about age since they're going to be egg layers not show birds that is if all 5 of them aren't roosters ha ha.
 
I got my second babies from a feed store I believe they are a month old now??? Bottom picture is when we got them they said at that time only a few days old... They are growing up 😊
