The wings are there as soon as they come out of the shell. They use them to force their way out. The feathers of the wings start to show well at a few days old. I have chicks that are 5 days old and they are flying already,not far, but enough to get away from my hand when I go to pick them up. Here is a link to show you the progression of a chick from day one to 4 months old.

Are chicken wings from baby chickens?

Chicken wings are usually from chickens between 6 and 8 weeks old. They're bred specially to grow quickly, a mix between a male Cornish and a female Plymouth Rock. At that age, they are large enough to harvest. So, technically, the birds that make chicken wings are still chicks, because they're not a year old yet.
