My friend said wing feathers can indicate sex (something about double rows or layers or something?) and is fairly sure this is a pullet. Just for fun (not even a week old!), what do y'all think?

Okay... LOL Momma is Silkie/CCL, Poppa is D'Uccle/sumthin'. LOL I kinda had a feeling I've at least got a few more weeks. If attitude is any indication, this little one has attitude with a capitol 4. LOL S/he is enraged by tp--when I go to clean up a poo, s/he wigs out, attacks the tp, and runs in circles with it. Very nippy, very assertive...the suggestions about the little pop on the noggin have helped to curb some of it, I believe.It only works for breeds or hybrids that are specifically bred for the purpose of feather sexing. Do you know the breed of your chick?
Hmmm, well, pullets at that age can have attitude, too. So you are right, it will have to wait until 7 weeks or so. I wonder why it has a problem with TP, of all things? You should record him or her in action. I'd love to see it.Okay... LOL Momma is Silkie/CCL, Poppa is D'Uccle/sumthin'. LOL I kinda had a feeling I've at least got a few more weeks.
