I'm leaning towards male. At the two week mark. All one bird.

You might be right, but I'm thinking pullet. I'm not an expert, but I've had my fair share of barred birds and such dark down paired with feathers that seem much more 'smudgy' and dark than clearly defined and light make me think your chick is girl. The head spot, too, while not as clearly defined as some still seems to have some solid definition, so that also makes me think pullet.
I guess the only sure way to tell is wait and see

Regardless, I'd love to see how it ages; if you post pictures in a few weeks I'm sure people will be able to give you a more definitive answer, too.
Either way, your chick is adorable :)
 
Also from what I'm learning the males feet are more yellow and brighter. The more muddle and dark legs mean pullet. Looks like a pullet to me. I'm a novice but that's what I have learned.
 
Thank you everyone! Looks like I was overthinking it. Haha. I will update photos as she grows.
