Wanted to confirm gender before rehoming

I would wait until u know for sure. A sure sign of a roo is it's first crow. Wait and see if it grows long metallic green tail feathers (or black.) 8 weeks old is a normal time for the comb to grow bigger for cockerels and pullets.
Metallic feathers will show up on any healthy dark bird.
 
Both are cockerels. They don’t get in their male specific feathering until 12 weeks so there isn’t a way to tell from that aspect. Both combs are huge for a EE/Ameraucana to be a pullet at 8 weeks. Pea combs for pullets don’t get that big until they are close to laying.
Here is a reference of a roughly 16 week old EE (with ameraucana in her lines) pullet’s comb to show what I am saying.
