Correct

Wait the two weeks and see what you have then.

Here's mine at just over 6 weeks.

And at about 8 weeks.

I wouldn't worry about it. They literally grow exponentially in weight. They can be "small" at 6 weeks, which is about the time you take them for "cornish game hen" sized chickens. In two weeks, I bet they'll easily gain 2-3 lbs. And if they are girls, just give them an extra week or two for a 6-7lb table bird.

That said, I used a 50lb bag of feed in about 10 weeks on 4 meat birds and two layers. If the temps are cooler or warmer than "ideal" or last year, they might not want to eat as much thus slowing their growth.
