This is my khaki drake. Ignore his angel wing I was new to ducks and didn’t know About extra niacin or to take them off starter feed earlier
We tried with a vet to correct it but he kept getting out of the wraps
My mix khaki / Pekin girls look just like the ones in your picture

They males will develop their tail curls at 8-12 weeks old. The best way to tell now is how they sound. Females should have a distinctive quack quack quack while the males should have a raspy whap whap sound.
I'd also say they are older then 5 weeks considering they are almost fully feathered.
I thought they were older but I wasn’t too sure. They all seem to be quacking 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you!
 
So the khakis are have a coloration difference on their tail. It looks like you have 1 Drake and 2 females, but not sure if it is always an accurate method. If you look at the duck on the left, its coloration is different than the other two. It has a more two tone coloring, which is seen in drakes. But sexing by sound is really still the most accurate.
 
The one on the left is a female and the two on the right are drakes. It is the drakes who have solid feathers above the tail and hens who have the two-toned feathers. See the picture below (my ducks when they were young). It is reliable but their voices will confirm it.
