Thanks a ton everyone,
Other than possibly brewers yeast for Niacin, they don't need any supplements or vitamins or anything like that?

Yep...It's not just brewers yeast...Ducklings need a balance in diet different than Chickens...Not sure why Duck feed is not available in the United States?.. ?

Nope, not if you are feeding something like the Flock Raiser... it is formulated for both chickens AND ducks...

Awesome, thanks again everyone

I'm probably the off person that saw a niacin deficiency with flock raiser... It does depend on the plant that actually makes the product.

I feed Mazuri, they do have a starter, grower, and maintenance. My ducks are very happy with it... And it's easy to get here in Purina country...

Yep, they also get little gold flakes on the end of their feathers...

Honestly, the 50lb bag lasts 3 geese and 7 ducks long enough that I've forgotten when I opened it. If you find a dealer, protect your source and buy in quantity.
