My problem

[Duck Lover3000]

Hi I have had 2 Muscovy ducks for quiet a while and I have realised that one of the ducks feathers have been getting wet and not drying for at least a couple of hours where on the other hand the other ducks feathers are perfectly fine should i be worried

Also the ducks who's feathers have been getting wet she has also been eating the chicken eggs could that have something to do with it.

Sounds like wet feather, I found a link that can explain it better than me, but I'll tell you I have 3 older ducks Muscovy that are close to 9yrs old and every summer they get wet feather they just don't swim much and preen which means they aren't using the preen gland to keep their feathers oiled, they have access to swimming water but just don't use it. http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/artwetfeather2.htm
Maybe this will help. and
