Bragg yeast

[Enigmius]

I got this yeast yesterday.
My Drake’s right leg is trembling again when he stands. He is on Purina all flock raiser which should be enough niacin, but he is a growing boy.
Can I just give him a few flakes every day until his leg is better or do I have to dilute it?

Sprinkle it on top of their food. It won't hurt to supplement the others as well. You could also double down and get a liquid B complex and add it to their water (100-150 mg of niacin per gallon).

I still give my adults Bragg yeast on their food. Definitely do the yeast but I always seem to have one duckling who grows fast and has shaky legs. Mine have all outgrown it.

It is 1 tablespoon per cup of feed.
If the duckling continues to have issues, try the b complex found at tsc. It is more concentrated and the duckling can absorb it faster.

Do they have problems if they get too much niacin?

The pee out what they don’t need. How are your babies doing?

His leg is still shaking. I put a spoonful of the bragg’s in the feed, and I diluted some into a small cup of peas/water in wich I allowed him to eat from. It only shakes after standing up for a long while. But he is also always climbing into his water dunker and jumping off. So I don’t know if his legs are hurt or if it’s niacin. But I’ll be giving him niacin for a few days and see if there is a difference.

He could be hurting himself. But yes keep up with the Braggs are you also going to be giving him B complex too? Aren’t they just the coolest lil slim things

I’m going to get some b complex tomorrow from tsc.

And yes, I love these critters. The drake is letting me pet his head, occasionally. The ladies are a little more timid. One of the girls is super shy. I wonder if she is at the bottom of the pecking order. She’s sweet though.
