Is anyone able to tell me if these ducks are male or female?
They’re about 11 weeks old. Thanks you guys!

By that age they should have their ‘voices’. Females tend to have a loud ‘honk/quack’. Males generally have a low, raspy voice. If you can get a closer look at their tails, males have a drake feather, females do not. It might be a little early to see the feathers though.
 
You definitely should be able to voice sex them by the time they are fully feathered like that. Unfortunately males may not have their distinct plumage at that age yet, so photos aren't foolproof. Do a youtube search for voice sexing ducks, you should find quite a few good videos with good sound to guide you.
 
I think @cheezenkwackers has a picture of her KC's in a pool with the difference circled.
They both look like drakes to me. Here is the picture of one of my pairs when they were young. Male Khakis have solid colored feathers above their tails. Females have lighter, two-toned feathers. I only see solid feathers on the OP pictures but the view of those feathers isn't great.
