niacin

Hey everyone, I ordered two baby geese, and they arrived today (less than 48 hours delivery) and one of them has bowed legs and curved feet-there was a great post on the duck forum about niacin deficiency that pictured the same foot curving. I called the hatchery before I found that and they had...

I’m truly stumped. //Backstory This spring we let my broody fawn and white runner sit on a nest, producing two eggs around three days till hatch. The eggs were taken out of the coup and put in an incubator due to their being Drakes, but sadly only one egg ended up hatching, producing a gorgeous...

I found and bought this AniMed Brewer’s Yeast for my ducklings for niacin as we are feeding them unmediated chick starter. I’ve been using nutritional yeast the past week or so that we’ve had them, but I’m about to run out. I saw on the tub after purchasing that it was for dogs and horses, so I...

Hi, new member here! I just recently bought 2 pekin ducklings and it’s been a long journey of learning about them, especially about the popular niacin predicament that the store failed to mention when they gave me chicken feed for my ducks. I learned this the hard way but I was able to cure my...

We bought her nutritional yeast yesterday and gave her water, but we don’t know whether we’re supposed to let her walk and play like usual or if resting more will help her recover. We’ll also cook some niacin rich foods for her to help her get better quickly, but other than that, is there any...

How much and how often do you feed your ducks Niacin and/or nutritional yeast powder everyday? What age are they?

I just purchased ducklings I would say are maybe 2 days old. The feed I am giving them did not display the amount of niacin so I emailed them and they said t has 75 ppm. Do I need to add more niacin (brewers yeast) to the feed? The feed is nature serve duckling starter/grower feed. Also I...

I recently added 2 ducklings to my flock and I’m worried they might have a niacin deficiency. I’ve never raised ducks before only chickens. They’re about 4 weeks old (give or take) and I only started giving them niacin supplements about a week ago after 1 was showing some signs. But both seem...

Just switched my almost 6-week old ducklings from a brand nobody's heard of (Keystone Mills) to Purina Flock Raiser (non-medicated) and I was concerned about the protein requirements and requirements for other nutrients. How can I lower the protein level and how can I ensure that my ducklings...

Somebody had suggested that I give this to our ducks for a niacin supplement. But I can’t find that thread... how much do I administer? Thank you!!! This is what we have. For HUGE Pekin ducks!

One of my ducks, Yoda, was niacin deficient as a duckling. We quickly corrected it with niacin rich foods and adding a niacin supplement to their food. She started laying a couple weeks ago and is now exhibiting signs of a niacin deficiency once more (turned in feet). Nothing in their diet has...

Hello everyone! Someone came to me letting me know they have a duckling who has a wide leg gap, often sits down, and trips a lot when it walks. It was born a little different; even had a wide leg gap when born. They are currently feeding it flock raiser, along with zucchini and sometimes cat...

Hello! The duck starter I have for my 2 baby anconas is a 22% ration, which contains 60mg/kg of niacin. is this enough or do I need to be supplementing additional niacin? also I have been told the 22% Is a bit high so I've been slightly diluting it with oats to get around the 20% mark. is this...

I need some help finding some grower feed (preferably crumbles) for my ducklings that will soon be 3 weeks old. I need some non medicated crumbles that has 15-16% protein and has some niacin(not too much or too little) in it. I’m hoping to get it before next week. I can’t seem to find any on...

Hello everyone! I have two ducklings who’s feet are going inwards. One is getting really bad. They just turned a week old. I heard it could be a niacin deficiency? I am feeding them Manna Pro duckling and gosling starter grower. It says 35 mg/lb. I was told that would be enough niacin but I...

I have 4 Pekins, 4 weeks old. I noticed niacin deficiency symptoms when they were a week old (with help from threads here on BYC) and have been adding 150mg of niacin from capsules ever since. 3 improved quickly and show no symptoms anymore, but one still struggles to walk, and has little...

Hi there! I’ve had two ducklings hatch in the past few days and I am wondering if the food I got has enough niacin? It’s mannapro duckling and gosling starter grower. I’ll post a picture of the label. It says 35mg/lb. These little babies have brought me so much joy (and stress from worrying) in...

Hey! I have found myself thinking about getting a gosling, I was just curious as to if this niacin would be okay to give to them? And if so how much of the powder? I’ve just been trying to look for a cheaper alternative to brewers yeast. I also heard that using “nutritional yeast” is good as...

2 days ago I took a single duckling in from someone who had several ducklings and all but one died. I don’t know how they were cared for or how long this duckling spent alone. I know they were gotten at Easter time so it should be about 3 weeks old. Yesterday, I got a 1 week old saxony duckling...

Hi All, I have a year-old Saxony female who is usually very active however Monday evening to present she struggles to walk. I was told Niacin Deficient on other platforms. I started giving her Niacin in both food and water, peas and brewers yeast. Can't share the video but her feet won't...
