can't find niacin.

[johari]

I can't find niacin at any feed stores near me. The only thing they have is this stuff for chicks called... Save a chick... Or something like that. Nobody stocks duck food either.

Where have you found niacin? Also, what is generally a good price for it?

Have you tried CVS,Walmart, health stores?

I couldn't find the right kind of niacin any where I went in person. I ended up just ordered off the Internet. I googled some things and ended up on amazon.com.... got 2 bottles of niacin capsules and a tub of brewers yeast powder. Around $20 total shipped. Not sure if that is good or not, but I have what I need. Some of the cheaper brands had higher shipping costs than the slightly higher priced brands...making it a better deal to get the little higher priced stuff, I believe, in some cases.

I could only find mine at a health food store - none of my grocery stores had the right kind - you don't want the "flush-free", "no-flush", or "time release" ones. Do you have a vitamin or health food store near you? Like a Whole Foods, New Frontiers, Natural Grocers, Hi Health, GNC - don't know if any of these are nationally known???

I have this. I got it at Walmart for less than $5. in the vitamin section.

Sweet, thank you. I didn't even think to look at a "normal" store.

I just crushed Brewers Yeast Tablets and it worked great several years ago when we had some Buffs with leg issues.

How much do you put in their water?

I have always used Brewer's Yeast in powdered form, just sprinkling some over their feed about three times a week. Easy peasy.

For the 3 ( 1 week olds) I have I've been putting 1/4 of the dropper in their water dish.
