I would say the white one in the far right corner next to the black chick would be the rooster! "His" feathers look longer and more rooster like, and he seems to have fewer feathers than the other two white ones. Roosters feather slower, depending on the chicken :)
 
They are really too young as Brahmas mature more slowly than some breeds. Another couple of weeks should make the picture clearer. However the one on the front left looks like it is growing a larger comb. My guess now would be that one is a cockerel and the back two are females. At this age there is no difference to see in feathering.

Thank You, that’s what I was thinking also, but not for sure.
