Can anyone tell me what the differences are between a white peachick and a black shoulder peachick?

My mother is gone on vacation and I'm hatching her pea eggs for her. I got two yellow babies last night. She has black shoulder peas, silver pied, white, and india blue. I'm fairly certain these yellow chicks are not india blue, and if they were silver pied there would be dark blotches on them, right? So they are either black shoulder or white but I don't know how to tell the difference.

Thanks.

OK,
by this time you already know the answer.
If they are white they have pure white wing feathers.
If they are black shoulder some color is showing.
Sometimes newly hatched peachicks of these breeds are very
had to tell apart. My own eyes were fooled by a black
shoulder spalding peachick that seemed to be as white as
the snow and it had a white father.
But most BS peachicks have a pink tint or even a buff tint
to the wings
