    HELP. NEW DUCKLING OWNER

    He might not have used it with the kind be got, but I've found the peking ducks MUST have it as they grow so fast that it causes leg injuries and you have to put them down if that happens. The niacin and brewer's yeast can help prevent some of these serious injuries so it's good to try too avoid...

    HELP. NEW DUCKLING OWNER

    I buy my niacin anywhere you can buy regular vitamins. I open the capsules and sprinkle it on their food. Occasionally, I will treat them with mashed up bananas sprinkled with niacin or put it in a bowl of chopped up spinach floating in water. They love the extra healthy treats!

    Candling pics- Good and Bad

    The site above has some great living shots. This one is a fail. It died within the 1st 8 days of incubation. Our duck eggs got much too cold outside before incubating. A few were okay, but most must have come near freezing.

    Who laid the first egg?!!!

    I'm new to this. But I would go with the black Australorp. I've heard the Americanas lay blue or green eggs. We just got our first one yesterday. Our leghorn layes a white egg. We know it was her because we accidentally left her in an area by herself. Everyone else was outside. I've heard...
