New a raising ducklings, I have 2 seven day old Rouens. I looked at the ingredients in their commercial feed and there is niacin in their food. Do I still need to supplement the niacin?
If it specifically says it can be fed to ducklings then they probably won't need any supplements. If you can't find anything about it then you can mix in ultra kibble or game bird starter, both of these are used for wild breeds. You can get them at tractor supply.
It can be. Thank you for your help
Many ducklings do not need the supplementation. From what I have seen, however, on the forum, some ducklings need more than even the commercial duck starter provides.
If the duckling begins to show any sign of nervous system malfunction (far-off gaze, stumbling, nervous tic), I would begin supplementation.
