Without the mother they do not have the oil in their feathers to start off with. There is a gland just before the tail that produces oil but the babies take some time to get oil. I can only let them stay in the water 10-15 minutes,then dry them off good and put them back under their light. I do believe it is important to give them these baths though, the brooder gets messy and ducks like to be clean. They always look so much better afterwards.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-347868021007452232011-10-10T13:18:04.546-04:002011-10-10T13:18:04.546-04:00Awww cute.
