My khaki campbells are 7-8 weeks old, and despite being nearly fully feathered and it appearing their oil glands are working (as I see water rolling off), their undersides are always soggy when I pick them up. They do have a small (6x8) pond that they swim in all day, but I thought the water wasn’t supposed to soak in like that, at least not at this point anymore.
Is this normal? Just because they’re still young? Or is there a problem?
They don’t seem cold. They only ever hop out of the water for a few minutes and then get back in. Have no desire to go warm up. Don’t huddle. Nap floating in the water even.
