You're probably in for quite a wait; ducks are slow hatchers. Sometimes they take as much as 48 hours from the time they pip to hatch.

Yeah. I figured it would be a while. I just got the kids down and was walking by so I peaked in.

So I exchanged the dumor feed for this Purina stuff and got chick grit and this supplement to add niacin...I think I've got it all covered... Do I?

flock raiser is good! never used the other. Get some nutritional yeast and add to their food. 1 TBL to 1 cup of food

What does the nutritional yeast provide for the birds? How do they benefit from it? ... I may actually already have some

niacin mostly but all kinds of good vitamins that you give on a daily basis, not when it's an emergency as I understand it.
