Brewer's Yeast

[pekincochin12]

What are your preferred brands of brewer's yeast? Does it matter? I've never tried brewer's yeast for my ducks, but now I am thinking of using that as opposed to their water additive for B vitamins, since they spill so much of it. How much and how often do you give it? Also, is it okay if chickens also eat it? I may be far off, but could it potentially cause a build-up of yeast and lead to sour crop?

Hello there!
I'm on my first duckling but did lots of reading on brewers yeast/b vitamins etc and I found that nutrional yeast actually contains more niacin per g than brewers yeast. Please don't quote me as I'm not sure if this was just the brand of nutritional yeast but my little duckling has been having it mixed into her food daily and we've had no niacin deficiency as of yet.

I'm using Engivita yeast flakes if this helps
