That is what it looks like, but mine are only 3months old so I could be wrong because I am new to EEs too and have not got eggs or crows yet.

here are yesterdays pics of them- the lighter colored one is Maggie, the darker is Madge- hoping Madge is a girl..

their colors are starting to come in too

Madge looks like he will turn to be a Wheaten-type colored boy.

Madge is a boy

bummer- well, i'll need to rehome him eventually- kinda thought so... what kind of personality do roos have? do i need to not handle him much... so he doesn't get aggressive later?? what color is maggie, she is so sweet

I have found it really doesn't matter with the roo's, it is based on the individual bird itself. I had a roo that was sweet as could be until I got rid of our dom roo and he ended up worse than him, chasing people down the street, wasn't a pretty sight. It really is hard to try to designate a "color" to an ee because they really have no standard. Once the adult feathers come in then you might get someone to venture a guess to color but it really doesn't matter because they don't usually breed true either.
