Are Vitamins a Must?

[stuka123]

Hi,
I have 4 almost a year old Pekins. I give them their regular Duck food and also their veggie treats, peas, lettuce, green beans etc.
Should I be giving them any type of supplements or vitamins. They seem to be happy and healthy but wasn’t sure if there are any must haves I’m not giving them.

I wouldn't administer as a matter of course unless they seem to be having trouble.

If you're hatching eggs, you might want to supplement some vitamins--eggs are a lot more susceptible to nutritional deficiencies, and the ducklings can be badly damaged. But most people don't hatch eggs.

I would keep some vitamins on hand in case one does get sick.

If they are doing great there is no need for adding vitamins..
