Hello everyoneI was wondering if anyone knew where I could get Niacin supplements for my ducklings? Three of them are having leg problems and I have no clue where I can find the right supplement for ducks. How much of the supplement to use with water etc. Can you find Niacin in other foods which the ducklings can eat? Help would be greatly appreciated
Hi
I actually found Vital Brewers yeast at SPAR yesterday best Niacin supplement its about R60 here but its because they are robbing is blind, mix about a teaspoon in their drinking water. My water bowl for them is a 1.5L ice cream tub, they can get very messy.
I have goslings but it is the same for ducklings, they need a ton of greens make sure they get it on a daily basis.
This is the best greens for them:
Basil
Marjoram
Parsley
Oreganum
Thyme
Grass
Spinach (small amounts not too much, I usually give my goslings some once a week)
I normally pick the herbs from my garden in the morning and mix it in their drinking water they LOVE it. If you can, give them access to a lawn they need to eat grass on a daily basis.
