Dizzy 3wk old duckling. HELP!

If you decide to try giving by mouth be very careful not to shoot it down the wrong hole and it end up in the lungs. Putting it in water is going to dilute it at first I’d try putting it over something he will chow down on @DuckyDonna put it over tomatoes and her ducks ate it right up.

Yeah do it slow and don’t shoot a lot. I did like I do for any wild bird and slowly depressed the plunger and put it on the inside of the beak and waited for a swallow. It does get messy btw and the stuff will stain your cloths yellow.

Reading all of this, I am now concerned that my brewer's yeast will not be enough niacin.... I am getting cayuga, rouen, and swedish day old ducklings.... Will they also need this complex thing? Or what kind of yeast would you recommend? Anything from walmart or natural grocers? Thanks!!

I found that it was just easier to take a little bowl with a bit of their food and some meal worms. Mix the B-complex over that and scatter it on top of their dry food. They all will get some even if they don't need it and that's ok. If they don't need it they will pee it out. No worries there! I tried doing it with an eye dropper and syringe and wasted more of it than went into the duck's mouth.

Your ducks should be fine with the niacin provided in duckling food, it is usually the Pekins and other really heavy ducks who need an extra dose.
As usual my recommendation is Niacin powder:

I take that stuff to and it helped me a lot to avoid being heavily sun-burned so far.
