2 weeks old, it’s flight feathers were clipped when I received it so couldn’t really see if there was a difference. Thank you!! Sorry I am new to this website so not sure if I did this correctly 🥺

Ahh ok. Thanks! Sorry this is my first year doing chickens lol
No worries. It's a common rumor spread around that you can sex all chickens by wing sexing, while there is some truth to that (if you cross a fast feathering male over a slow feathering female since slow feathering is dominant you will get fast feathering females and slow feathering males) but all chicks certainly cannot be sexed that way.
 
The wing may have been clipped because there were some white tips. That's a no-no. I'm not sure if the white tips mean the the bird is heterozygous for Fm gene. The best birds are homozygous (two copies of Fm) but you can only confirm it by doing test breeding.

It's way to early to sex it. The comb develops very slowly. The green or blue iridescence on the male might develop before the comb or waddles.
