Can duckings eat chick starter/grower?

Niacin is the chemical name for Vitamin B3. Lack of niacin causes a wing deformity called Angels Wing in waterfowl.

Oh yes, I have a battle with that!

Thanks to all of you who replied to this thread, it really helped me a lot. I will definitely be going to buy some duck starter today.

All Flock Feed (Nutrena)

I think I lead the flock astray on that one; it's high in calcium for ducklings.

Not as of a few days ago, hence my comment 'I led the flock astray'

Best I can do right now is unmedicated chick starter with 25% rolled oats and niacin supplement in the water.

Manna Pro Duckling would be my first choice if I could get some.

I use Purina duck pellets. I put it in a gallon baggie and smash it with a hammer to make crumbles for the babies. I suppose maybe it could be put in a blender or food processor?
