Welsh Harlequin

No need to seperate her because she'd be lonely without her pals, and the Niacin will be good for all of them. Plain Niacin is getting harder to find, so you're best bet is most likely either Brewer's Yeast or Nutritional Yeast, which you can find at grocery stores, or even Walmart usually. If it's the plain Niacin you seek, I found mine for Cas at a local Vitamin store that carries nothing but Vitamins and nutritional supplements. 

The vitamin (just Niacin) would be dissolved in the water (100-150mg to each gallon of water) and the yeast would be sprinkled on their feed (I think it's 1 teaspoon to each cup of feed?).

Note: If you find plain Niacin, make sure it is the NICTONIC ACID kind, and doesn't say things like "time release", "flush free", "no flush", etc.

No, it cannot fly. I finally figured that it's a mixed breed

Very cool I have a female welsh and a male Cayuga coming this wensday too. Small world I guess.

Well, it's bad news for my future in duck parenting...

Due to an unfortunate change in living arrangements soon, I must now find a new loving home, or homes, for my 5 beautiful young ducks - (including my 3 Welsh females - why I'm adding a post here)

I am looking for a pet only, freezer camp free home for these beautiful pets, as I cannot take them with me in my new living arrangement, and they cannot remain here.

We are in South-Eastern Pennsylvania, between Valley Forge and Reading.

If interested, please PM me - and you can see my post in the free re-homing thread:

And I also wanted to say 'thank you' to everyone I've had the opportunity to interact with here on the BYC duck forums - you have all been so very supportive, informative and just generally wonderful - and perhaps, if things change in the future, I'll be a duck parent again....
