Er… I hate to disagree, but brahmas are a breed that are very slow to develop. The only way you're going to know a 3-4 week old light brahma is male is if he's an obvious, early male.
Generally, I'd say you'd have to wait until they're 8 weeks or so.

I agree! Sometimes you have a fast maturing male that's obvious young, but generally 8 weeks is when you can know with a fair bit of confidence and 10 weeks for sure
