Duckling has dry skin peeling and walking backwards while dragging bill on ground in a squiggle pattern

What do you think? Should I do it anyway and just try to make sure they are feeling warm?

I'd try a few days to a week like that, it can only effect the warmth if it is stopping the down from working, oil may LOOK damp but it's not, it doesn't evaporate and evaporation is the mechanism of getting cold. try a comparison oil to water on your skin to see.

I've been adding garlic and oregano to their feed as well and giving them a mashed up scrambled or hard boiled egg everyday.

I would be cautious about garlic, it is a poison -fun fact.
