B-Complex Dosage (3-4 week olds)??

[Isaac 0]

Always best to put liquid over treats if not familiar with giving liquid to poultry it’s easy for them to aspirate liquid if not given correctly.

Not to mention it's a pain in the *** !

Thank you guys, sorry I hijacked this thread .
Is this yeast the right stuff? My previous link didn’t seem to work

 

[Miss Lydia]

It is but you’ll need to give this to them till 10 weeks old so after this bottle you may want to go bigger. 1 tab per cup of feed

So sorry for not responding! The stores were out of all B-Complex but we did remember that we had Brewer's Yeast so I put a tiny bit in their water and on their food.

Are brewer's yeast and nutritional yeast the same/similar when it comes to supplementing ducklings?

I've only used brewers yeast, but according to a few people on here, nutritional yeast is better as it has more niacin in it as well as being flaky so it sticks to the feed better. Same dosage as brewers yeast.

Hi, all! The ducklings are a month old now and doing great. With only two, I have had stupendous luck with adding liquid B complex to their water and some nutridrench to their food slurry. I'm sure the fact that there are only two ducklings, and they're currently sharing my office as I WFH so I can monitor their food and water intake, has been the key to the success, but I wanted to share. On my last round, I had ducklings with niacin deficiency and had to do the brewer's yeast and extra liquid b-complex on treats for my littlest girl. These babes have been a breeze!

Am probably going to start letting them go outside in the garden next week and bringing them in at night. They're getting pretty restless.

Here is their first trip out to the garden for a few minutes this past weekend.
