What do you think? Male or Female?

This is what I was told by someone who has hatched and raised for many decades. So far about a 98% accuracy rate. When they are a few weeks old, the ones whose tail feathers stick out are hens. My last hatch (6/27) it looked like all hens and one was questionnable. About 6 months later - first eggs from the two thought to be hens. That questionnable one, Milo, did lay. Milo was the runt and didn't grow as quickly, so his - whoops...her tail feathers were slower. I definetly looks like the one on right is a hen and he other???
 
They are both boys, If I were you I'd take them back now and try to exchange rather than wait as you will be wasting your time and money otherwise.
 
Wow, lots of good ideas from you all, thank you.
Dec 23 I was told they were 1 week old and that would make them 4 week at the time of the pictures and almost 5 weeks today, and both are to be Black Copper Morans.
We will give it more serious thought and see about exchange for others, we just get so attached to them.
Thanks again for the help.
 
Well hopefully they'll be nice roo's
