I hatched out 2 favorelle eggs.
We bought blue favorelle and salmon favorelle eggs. But they were NOT labeled.

How can you tell what one is what? Photos of parent stock.
Photos of chicks.
I’m assuming both are going to be salmon. But I’m not sure given they look different colour wise now! 😅

ADDING: I know that it’s probably impossible now, but what age would be the likely age you know? :)

Blue chicks will almost always be grey/silvery/blueish at hatch. Different shades of blue can pop up of course and be a darker grey. Look at their beaks too, blues have a dark beak but sometimes it takes a while for the pigment to develop.

These are some chicks I hatched this spring. Aside from the all blacks, most these grey chicks turned out some shade of blue thanks to my blue copper maran roo.

This was the most obvious one of course.
