Since you have ruled out mites, lice, parasites and they have access to water. I would guess either aging or a diet that is a little low on protein. Methionine in particular plays a very critical role in feather development. I actually started before every molting season mixing in a higher protein feed after I had a duck have issues with wet feather despite access to water and a clean bill of health otherwise. Since doing the protein rotation she molted in beautiful glossy feathers and has not had an issue since.
