If duck eggs get wet, it can lead to several issues, including the potential for bacterial contamination and mold growth. Excess moisture can compromise the integrity of the eggshell, making it easier for pathogens to penetrate. Additionally, wet conditions can disrupt the incubation process, as proper humidity levels are crucial for successful hatching. It is important to keep duck eggs dry and store them in a controlled environment to ensure their viability.
When a feather is in the water, it gets wet and absorbs some water. When a feather is still on a duck, the oil secreted by the ducks skin is in the feather and prevents the ducks feathers from getting waterlogged. Otherwise the feathers on the duck would get heavy with water and make it impossible for the duck to stay on top.
The eggs need moisture to hatch, in nature, the moms leave the nest once a day for half hour to eat, drink and bathe themselves... when they come back wet, this provides needed moisture to the egg. If you incubate them it is important to study how much moisture to have in the incubator daily. It's impossible for a duck to ever get wet, even when it's a baby. Duck's have this one special oil in their feathers which makes water stay off them. This oil is provided to them by their mother when they are babies, but when they get older, they start producing it on their own in their mouths and they rub it onto their feathers. If your babies are born under an incubator, you need to wait until they are old enough before you let them swim, unless they have a mommy duck to coat their feathers.
a duck wares his or hers birthday suit. IDIOT!!!

the hampster can get sick.if it happens dry it of imediatly and very well.it gets wet
Ducks have an oil gland. When you see a duck preening (which looks like it is cleaning itself with it's bill) it is spreading the oil onto it's feathers. Baby ducks' oil glands are not active until they are a few weeks old. They get their oil when a parent duck sits on them. This oil then prevents the feathers from becoming soaked, and they float. Swimming is an instinctive behavior for ducks. They do not have to be taught to swim, they do it as naturally as breathing.
Your hands would be wet.
