Duckling won't dry off

[aart]

Does anyone know why a duckling won't dry?

Have had chicks look like they aren't drying, they're dry but look wet(Brylcreem Syndrome). A soft toothbrush can help break the the dried hatch gunk and/or very gentle fingertip preening.

I like that phrase Brylcreem syndrome.
