Hi everyone, I'm afraid one of my ducklings might have mild niacin defficiency. She looks clumsy and slower thant the rest, and tens to sit more often than the others. I am starting suplementing immediately. Hopefully, she will get better. Until now, they were eating some kind of expensive waterfowl food, for ducklings, that has spirulina, krill, fish meal...but I guess it may not have enough niacin

I hope she'll be okay! Even when feeding a
waterfowl feed I still think extra niacin added would be good, and it won't hurt them, hard to give them too much.
What are you supplementing with?

This (see pic). I crushed half a pill and put the powder in their feed, for the six ducklings. I still need to check the best dosage.

Check to see if it's non-flush (a side effect of niacin). You don't want that kind.

Yes, I checked and it only says niacin (nicotinamide, vit B3). All of the other brands said no-flush, this was the only one I could find that didn't put that on the label.

Perfect. I also have niacin tablets on hand that I use for ducklings.
