I've been resisting adding my two cents--but will... crushed unsalted peanuts are a great niacin rich treat.

Awesome I will try the peanuts as well! Thank you !

Flock Raiser is already 20% protein, no need for higher protein at this point, just higher Niacin...

Ok I hear ya. I will definitely keep that in mind too. Hopefully we will get her feeling better soon. Thanks again everyone

Good points on the eggs and peanuts, and if the feed was lower % protein then they would be a good supplement... but seeing as the leg is already an issue, direct Niacin is a quicker and more efficient way to get the intake increased...

I totally agree especially giving the protein content of the feed.

Any Vitamin shop or Walmart, Walgreens, etc in the Nutritional Vitamins/Supplements areas... just make sure it doesn't say 'Time released' or 'flush free'... Vitamin B complex works fine too... just check the amount of Niacin per tablet and add enough to ensure 100-150mg Niacin to be dissolved in each gallon of drinking water...

Ok so I went by the local walgreens. They had 3 different brands of the niacin. One said time released, one said flush free and one said controlled released which I'm guessing is no different than time released. I didn't see any others. I got the one that said controlled release. If it will not work let me know and I will look elsewhere I guess
