Yes, very frequently they will dive under water and latch themselves onto a stick or other type of structure.

∙ 12y agoDucks are not likely to intentionally drown themselves when wounded. They may struggle to stay afloat or swim properly due to the injury, which could lead to drowning. In the wild, wounded ducks may have a lower chance of survival due to predators and other environmental factors.
Its heavy in there stomachs. So they drown :( Poor Ducks
Ducks typically swim in bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams. They are well adapted to aquatic environments and can often be seen paddling along the surface of the water.
Well some insects can't get wet. For instance, A butterfly. Chinchillas are one of the animals that shouldn't get wet.
Ducks defend themselves by using their strong bills to bite or peck at predators, as well as by flapping their wings or swimming away quickly. Some ducks also have the ability to make loud quacking sounds or to fly away to escape danger.
Ducks have 2 legs.
Swans do not drown ducks. Not on purpose, at least. They do not harm each other.
no because ducks can swim like humans so they won't drown
As rule, no, but Australian musk ducks might.

Ducks can drown or look like they are drowning when they are mating or - the obvious answer - fighting.Male ducks ( Drakes) will fight each other for mates and if you observe them will sometimes try and mate with a female in water..this looks like he is drowning her.Female ducks will sometimes (I have seen this with my own eyes) try to drown another duck's ducklings. This is a horrible sight. The cause of these 'killings' is the natural instinct to survive. The mothers both want their ducklings to have the best chance of survival.I hope this has helped you!
Nope. They cant drown as they're heavy. If a light object such as a pin is put into water it drowns because its light. However, rubber ducks dont because they have more weight. Hope this helped :)
Their feathers don't absorb water, they're quite buoyant.
Ducks do not clean their young, their young are quite capable of cleaning themselves.
Yes, it was possible to drown in the mud during World War 1. The trenches dug for warfare would often become filled with water and mud, making them difficult to navigate. Soldiers could get stuck in the thick mud and be unable to free themselves, leading to drowning if they were unable to be rescued in time.
it causes oil spills and hurts animals such as ducks who land in the area effected and they drown.
they wash themselves in water and by preening
Ducks, because if it was too dense it would sink and drown
