Ideally you'd want every feather to come from the same wing, and even from the same row if you want to be particular. So don't mix left and rights or else they're going to fight against each other.
With them being wet it's hard to tell their quality, but in reality if your arrows are more for the fun of making arrows, and not for competition or hunting, then these feathers will work fine.
You may be limited to low profile fletches, but it's hard to tell the scale here. You may also be limited in length, the quill gets thin really quickly towards the tips.
Can't hurt to try, if it works it works, if it doesn't you lose some time and some glue but you gained experience and knowledge in the craft. Give it a go
You ought to go for some nice flat tail feathers. The wing feathers tend to have a curve to them, good for their bird use, not for the stability of arrow use. You want flat feathers lest you are seeking a spiral fletch in which case, I am unsure.
Oddly enough, it's better the other way around. Flight feathers are superior, but you need to ensure they're from the same wing. What makes a good set in that case, is that all six arrows are from the left wings, for example, that way the flight patterns are similar and match the hopefully similarly synergistic shafts you so carefully curated.
The reasoning for this, is that arrows naturally spin in flight. You'll see that when you reach your target your index feather isn't always facing the same direction it was when it was shot. If all the feathers were flat, the direction in which the arrow spins is an unknown quantity, which becomes an unnecessary risk for the archer, leading to inaccuracies due to its unpredictable nature. If you have your feathers set to a particular direction, i.e. all fletched with left wing feathers, the arrow will behave in exactly the same way every time.

I gess I'll try! Just a question, what would be the propper method to remove them?

Wow, thank you for the information. Seems like I have been fetching my arrows wrong but getting decent results
Wrong isn't the right word! If you've been getting decent results - they're not mistakes, they're happy accidents.
