'Day old' is more a term than a age.
Where did you get them? Even chicks I buy from hatcheries and have them shipped to me are technically 2-3 days old by the time I get them.
They look about 5-6 days.

I got them at a local hatchery and I went there they did not ship. I did get them about 3 days ago tho

They might have hatched on a non business day, like the weekend..

A picture on your hand for reference would be helpful but judging from wing growth, they look at least one week old!
