3 week old ducklings have wacky tail feathers

[OliviaFleming]

I have 5, 3 week old Khaki Campbells who's tail feathers look odd and raggedy. Almost stringy. Im relatively new to ducks, so Im not sure what it could be, or if it's normal and Im just being paranoid.

They are currently housed inside in a kiddie pool, they swim in the tub every other day, their bedding is changed every other day depending on the mess level (trying to use the deep litter method but it doesnt last long ‍♀) they dont seem to preen very often and they dont peck at eachother at all. Could it be a vitamin deffeciency? They are on mannapro duckling feed, supplimented with extra brewers yeast. (Terrified of niacin deficiency)
Ive attatched pictures, any help is greatly appreciated!!!

That is normal feathering, at three weeks they are just about to go through the teenage stage where they will look awkard because of all the adult feathers coming in.

That looks normal to me.

Can we get a pic of the whole ducklings now in stead of just the butt? even though that is cute too.

I have 3 8 week old babies that have the same little weird feathers, so are they males possibly?
