also, i added my new baby chicks to my existing flock and she was the ONLY one who picked on them and she kept pecking them and scratching them and like jumping on top of them, does that mean rooster also?

I'm thinking she could still be a he, the tail and colors just dont look like a pullet to me.

You have a pullet, with some unruly behavior :)  Not at all uncommon for Ameraucanas. LOL. 

 

 With that color, a rooster isn't possible.  The males have a lot more black. 

 

Ameraucanas have pea combs, this isn't gender specific.  Most cockerels have more pronounced combs (three ridges that really stick out) by that age.
