Way to tell chick colors as chicks?

Dad is blue, mom is grey, and there are only 2 babies. Is there a way to tell the colors apart at around 2 weeks old? I will probably buy them both but wanted to know if there was a way to tell them apart incase I didnt. I want a blue one pretty bad. If I only buy 1 of the 2 I will get a lutino from...

Re: My Awesome cage

I really love these cages. The birds have wing room and can fly in there unlike the kind that are more vertical. They just have so much more room in there. I may buy another one, or one like it soon. I'm going to get one of those bendable perches next week.
