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 great I'll do that. Thank you
 
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
