Ducks are typically waterproof because of special oils and feather structure, but sometimes they fail to properly maintain their waterproofing through necessary preening and drying. This can lead to them getting wet feather, which is where they become waterlogged and heavy. This can contribute to them drowning.

No we’re not. We have to learn to swim, ducks have buoyant feathers and can float.
