My husband started to notice a difference pretty quickly when he changed his approach to them. Within a couple weeks. But some ducks take longer. But your teens may not want much to do with you till they stay laying. One of my last teens, they didn't even hang out with the rest of the flock till they started laying.

My teens that are the 4 that are 5 months are all males,
The 2 that are a year old are a male female pair
And the 3 that are 2 months are 2 female 1 male
 
Sorry to say this, but that's a lot of males for your 3 females. You might have worse issues than them not liking you as they all get into mating.
 
*UPDATE*
for the last 2 days I’ve been limiting their food, I take the bowl to them in the morning sit with it and wait for them to come eat and then once they stop eating I take it away again and bring it back towards evening, and it seems to be working, they run after me when I have the bowl to see if I’m feeding them and they’re willing to come up to the bowl when I’m sitting there which they’ve never done before. And a few mins ago I was sitting with my duckling (which the older ducks don’t like) and I was by the duck fence and they call came running up to see what I was up to. So hopefully it gets even better from here
