Gender?

I have a 10 wk old light Brahma here I believe is a rooster. Its tail feathers are curving, it has thicker legs than one I believe is a pullet, it is quick to come running first for food, has pointy hackle feathers, he has a slight comb and reddish wattles, he was a sweetie as a 2 to 5 week old chick but now pecks my hand if I place hand in front of him, he also is bigger than my believed LB pullet and also my adult rooster 1+ yr chases him off throughout the day. Let me know what you guys think

Pullet.

Pullet.

It is interesting that the rooster chases it off.. last year our rooster always chased off 4 out of 6 of our chicks and we wondered why. Turned out they were all roosters. Could this be a sign??

I'm kinda wondering the same thing because my adult boy aslo does the mate dance towards some of my 5 week old chicks!!! They seem to know

Well, this one is definitely a girl, so I don't know why you're rooster is chasing her. Maybe just because she's new to the flock?

She's not new though. She/he has been outside with my rooster since 2 weeks old

Hmm, I don't know then. Maybe she's just more resistant towards him. I have a hen who resisted my rooster's advances for a while, and he certainly did not like that!
