Hello! I've been trying to find what I should be feeding ducklings and adult ducks. Ducklings, the general recommendation is non medicated chick starter.

Ducks, all flock or something similar.

I use this brand
https://bigvfeeds.com/product/big-v-allway-kernels/

For my chicks and adult chickens. Is it good for ducklings? Will I need to switch to a different feed for all my birds to adjust for the ducks? Thank you!
 
Ducks need feed that is high in Niacin. You may need to switch or add nutritional/brewers yeast to the feed to avoid health issues
 
Water fowl need niacin in their daily diet. Regular chicken feed is unfortunately not going to cut it. You'll need to switch to a duck specific feed or add niacin to your current feed through Brewers/Nutritional Yeast and/or supplements

No. Both adults and ducklings. If the babies don't get enough Niacin, it will cause severe health and growth problems.

I'm looking at the feed store and this feed says it's made for adult ducks/all flock feed but no mention anywhere about Niacin on the label. In the ingredients it says Niacin supplement but I don't see any amounts.

I'm looking at the other feed to see what it has..
