You read about that correctly, and you are more than welcome to post pics of your bird. All you have to do is wait for them to mostly feather out (about 4 weeks.)
The general rule is that the females are confined to their genetic ancestry of birds that were camoflaged so that they could sit on their nests undetected. To this end, their body is confined to one coloration pattern (usually wild type). Their head and tail can be different colors, but are clearly distinct from the body.
Now, a male has no such restrictions, and has loud splashy colors here there and everywhere. This is especially apparent and chaotic when they are young and feathering out. Instead of a nice even pattern across the wing, you'll get messy splashes of random color (usually red on the shoulders.) The messier the manlier.
The only situation where this isn't applicable is when you get pure white birds (which is so rare in hatchery birds as to be almost besides the point). In that situation, you're stuck waiting for the male hackles to come in, or crowing.
Hope that helps clarify a bit. There's a really good EE coloration thread in this forum that would be good to look through. You'll soon pick out the coloration restrictions if you keep the above in mind.
