What's your guess?

I got these babies March 30th 2021, I'm try to see if I'm on track with age? I'm guessing by that 2 weeks 3 days?!??!

Where did you get them from? It’s kind of an awkward picture/position for me to see their size. I’d guess they were younger than that

I'd say 1.5 weeks.

Depending on what day your TSC gets their shipment and what day you got them would help better determine age. We bought ours on a Thurs (and their shipments come in on Thursdays) so I suspect mine were only a few days old. Based on that your picture they look closer to what mine looked like under 2 weeks. (10-14 days)

It's going to be hard to narrow down the age to days solely by looks - I would guess two weeks.
It appears a few of the birds may be developing dermatitis on their plantar surface/ footpad.

Aren't all foot pads plantar? Its not like they have pads on the top of their feet.

Plantar refers to the bottom sole of the hind feet - I added "footpad" in case there was confusion regarding what plantar meant.

their plantar surface / footpad.

You could avoid confusion by using medical terminology or plain English instead of mixing the two. Actually we all get how smart you are so instead of trying to show off you could just use plain English.

Sorry, you think I'm attempting to show off, but that is not my intent. I think you will find most of my posts using medical terminology are mentioned to describe a more accurate presentation of an anatomical part or condition. I will certainly take your criticism into consideration for future posts.
