I will do just that--thank you! :) :)

Thank you! I cleaned their brooder today and when I put her in her playpen outside (on the grass), I noticed she was a lot more steady on her feet! She was not wobbling backwards AT ALL. This makes me feel so much better--I think the B complex is working! She is also growing super fast right...

One more question for you! I'm curious...what bird are you most happy with regarding egg production and ease of care? I love these ducks and so do my children, but they've become pets somehow (whoops), so we'll be (likely) keeping them whether or not they are high producers of yummy eggs. But...

Thank you for such great information! I feed them Nature's Best Organic Duck Crumbles at 18% protein, though I have been adding oats for the past week to get the protein closer to 16% (I eyeball it, though). I'm feeding fortified nutritional yeast, which has synthetic B vitamins, and I'm fine...

Hi @Jenbirdee , thank you for replying! They are getting some swim time, not every day though. They were swimming yesterday and loving it! Mae does very well in the water. It's funny...I read your comment and thought, "Little leg? She's got BIG legs!" LOL! Her legs seem so thick for her age...

Hello everyone! My Pekin duckling, Mae, is showing symptoms of a niacin deficiency! She injured one of her legs at one week, so I upped her niacin and her leg got better. But then, about a week ago, she started putting weight on fast and has caught up in size to her Buff Orpington and Blue...
