Chicks do not have waterproof feathers like adult waterfowl. When they are young, their feathers are still developing, and they lack the oils that help make feathers waterproof. As they mature, they will develop the necessary oils to provide some water resistance, but young chicks are generally not equipped to stay dry in wet conditions. It's important for them to stay dry, as getting wet can lead to hypothermia.
