My broody hen hatched these two ee chicks from blue eggs and they are both supposed to be ees or ameracaunas - and now at about 3-4 weeks old the brown one has tail feathers that stick up in the back but the white one's tail feathers don't stick up at an angle. My theory is that the brown one is a roo and the white one a hen. What do you experts think? Of course I would LOVE if they were both girls - do you think there is any chance?

 
Well they are young and ee's can be notoriously hard to sex, but, I don't see anything there that screams roo to me. And don't let the big feet automatically make you think roo, I've had several moose sized young ee's with huge feet that I thought were surely roo's turn out to be pullets.
