Omg! She is so pretty. This one I have is the calmest out of all of them. Probably because I am having to give her daily vitamin b complex orally so she lets me handle her better than the other. These are the two I just picked up

Very pretty. Definitely a black Swedish and I suspect a Golden 300. It is pretty light for a Khaki and not blue.

It could be the silver Swedish I have one and she is very pretty but a little suspicious of things

Here are some better pictures I tried to take when giving her b complex to her.

She is such a cutie. Has her leg been getting better?

Yes it has! She is getting around really good now and her energy is back up but she still has slight bowed legs and is pigeon towed. I have it written down but I believe it’s been a week and half of the b complex now.

That is great to hear! Hopefully the bow will completely go away with continued treatment.

I have another question. I had read on multiple sites to give grower feed to ducks until they start laying and then switch to layered pellets. My ducks are 5 weeks old now and on the back of the bag of food I’ve been giving them it says to switch after 4 weeks. Not sure which food they are supposed to be getting now. This one has 20% protein so do I need to go down to chicken feed that has less protein but continue adding niacin/yeast?

Never mind. I googled it and it’s this same brand in pellet form with lower protein. I haven’t seen it at my farm store so I’m going to order it!

Well that one is not in stock and I can’t find anywhere to order it online. Would the Purina work? It says from hatching through whole life

Quite a few members use the Purina duck feed. I am not sure if it only comes in pellets.
But @DuckyDonna feeds her flock this brand. Just keep offering the Nutritional yeast over until 10 weeks old.
