Is this chick a blue or a black crested white polish?

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I purchased a dozen eggs from a hatchery on Facebook. Originally I purchased the hatching eggs as we wanted different colors of Polish (we currently have four black crested whites and a golden laced). However I split the order as my kids wanted a few more Cochin.

We had horrible luck with USPS and our incubator which killed off most of the eggs. I placed the few I had left under our broody and she hatched them out. We ended up hatching one polish chicks (and two cochins). The polish the lady has are all buff and blue (except one white crested black). Do you think I got the one egg from the black crested white or does this chick still have a chance at being blue?she is about 1 1/2 weeks old.

Thanks for your help! I know it will only take a few more weeks to know for sure but I am impatient 🤦😂

I am impatient too! Here are photos of my supposedly white crusted blue Polish chicks I have at about 1 week old.

Aww! They are so adorable!! Please keep me updated on the wing colors as they come in! Our little one is still black (though the kids think that the wings are grayer than our other black polish) I will get you some updated pictures tonight!

Yes, our chicks are about the same age, mine are a week, so it would be nice to compare. I bought mine as straight run, but I am hoping for two females. Mine are supposed to be white crested blue Polish, but I guess they can turn out splash or black also.
