2 questions Niacin & Brewer’s Yeast

[10PekinDucks]

Hi. I’m new here. We are new homesteaders in North MISSISSIPPI and started out with 10 Pekin ducks, now all about 5 weeks old and quadrupled in size from when we got them. Looks like we have 2 drakes and the rest hens(?). I have a 2-part question about Niacin and brewer’s yeast. Question 1: I’m having a hard time finding the right niacin and tractor supply can’t seem to keep the all fowl feed in stock. I have a GNC locally and Walgreens, I just need a suggestion on which product to get for the niacin. Question 2: which of these brewer’s yeast supplements should I get?
Bluebonnet Non-Bitter, Solgar, Now Reduced Bitterness, Kal. They’re all at a local nutrition store. How much do I give? Also, chewy.com has some brewer’s yeast horse supplement. Would that work?

Are you feeding chick feed? If so i would get niacin drops from gnc. Turns out you need a LOT of brewers yeast to supply all niacin required.

 

[Ratchnick]

This will clear things up for you.

I'd get them Now nutritional yeast. You can easily order it from amazon. 1 tbls over 1 cup of food. Then if you've got Tractor supply get some B-complex

Thank you!!! Headed to TSC this morning. One of my drakes started wobbling yesterday.

When problems are showing the liquid B complex is the best. 1ml over a tasty treat for your one showing trouble. This is daily the rest can have it in their water. But watch them closely. Pekins grow so fast they can develop leg problems over night.

I'm still confused on the Niacin. I've read don't get the flush free because it's the wrong kind. What is the right kind? Is it niacinimide?

 

[DuckyDonna]

This is the best kind to get. Tractor Supply $16.99
1ml over a treat that they will eat right up such as mealworms

I got the bottle with the black label. I see that you can put a syringe/needle through the red cap, but how do you get it without the needle? Does the cap go back on or do you have to cover it with something after you open it?

 

[Miss Lydia]

If it’s like mine I had the one in the lighter cover I just peeled off the foil and used a needle less syringe to pull it out
