Not judging or anything, what your reasoning behind supplementing with B12?

Is B3 better? Seriously, that’s why I’m here to learn. I may have to go back and reread the sticky thread.

Supplementing with B12 (Riboflavin) is fine, its just ducks don't tend to suffer from a deficiency in it as much Niacin (B3). If you're going to supplement with one vitamin go with niacin (B complex).

No real reasoning, but aware ducks need extra niacin. I recently changed their feed to a much better brand, so perhaps they don’t need extra niacin.

My thread explains what brands to get, and where you might find it.

I found the easiest thing was to give them a bowl of crumbles in the morning with the b supplement and some water mixed in to the point that it was a mash.
They destroyed the bowl in under a minute every day.
