Better pics of them to be sure. Yes, the one on the right is male.

The one on left: take a pic by itself. From the side, while standing (just like you already did, but by itself). Then take additional pic with comb, wattles face. My inclination is to say female for the one on the left, but I can’t see the comb well enough.
 
I’ll attach some more pictures the one of the left is the one we thought was male the whole time just from the behaviour, picks on everyone is kind of a bully 😂 He’s very flighty so hard to get pics of but here’s a few

I think you have 2 boys. The one on the right- very developed and red comb for the age, 3 row pea comb. The one on the left with the additional pics, I see thick legs (thick for an EE), reddening comb with moderate development, and 3 row pea comb. Typically, a girl EE will not have this much comb color at 8 weeks, and the comb is typically smaller at this age.
