Sorry, I didn’t know the full story, I read your other thread and that makes more sense now. I didn’t know that they were actually living together in the wild and you hadn’t taken them in to brood. If they are staying 100% wild I agree with Isaac, you don’t need to feed them. I’d stay the angel...

I don’t think my links work so if you’d like to, just go to the three lines in the top left corner, go to forums, scroll all the way down to geese or a bit lower to ornamental waterfowl, click on them, click on the blue button ‘post thread’ and you’re set. You may know all ready how to do this...

Also, if you’d like you can ask your question again in either the geese forum-https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/geese.47/ Or the ornamental forum-https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ornamental-fowl-swans-etc.46/post-thread You might get more answers that way! Good wishes!

@Gray Farms and @mothergoose keep Egyptians, maybe they can help you! Btw, if you have pics, I would LOVE to see them, I think goslings are so so so adorable!

wild ones definitely can get it but they normally die off quickly, I assume it would be genetic for them though(they have good diet and exercise). So I’d assume it’s genetic most likely. Here’s an article- https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/angel-wing-in-waterfowl.67929/

That doesn’t seem like the feed caused it. 15% is quite low more so for domestic goslings I think(I am not as gosling expert though especially on wild/ornamental breeds). I am not sure about % for wild ones though. Maybe it’s genetic? I have heard that some people think that. I haven’t heard...

I just checked my bag and it has 46 mgs of niacin in the 1/4 serving size. Is this suitable?

Thank for your response! I read the the link, it was very informative. The largest ducklings I have are Cayuga and Swedish, these are medium weight, do you recommend I supplement? If so, can I use a human grade nurtional yeast, I have a big bag of it for myself, it doesn’t have any add-ins or...

One more question as you seem quite knowledgeable, should I supplement the feed with brewer of nutritional yeast? It is a duck feed so I assume it does have some amount of niacin but there isn’t niacin on the guaranteed analysis on the back. They don’t have any symptoms of niacin deficiency(ex...

Thanks for your reply! That reassuring! I looked at some older posts and some were saying the natures best was too low in protein.

I have a couple 4 day old ducklings. There are currently on a duck crumble(the nature’s best duck crumbled) that has a good amount of niacin I think but it’s lower in protein than I would like (18% protein). I was looking to get a new feed on Chewy as that would work best for me, are there any...
