Duckling Vitamins?

[HomesteaderWife]

We have some ducklings that are now about three days old, and I remembered reading something awhile back about them needing additional vitamins or supplements along with eating the grit. What should I be giving them to keep them healthy, and could I get it at Tractor Supply or order online? Thank you!

Niacin

Most people will recommend Brewers Yeast be added to their food. Ducks have a higher requirement for Niacin in order to develop properly, something that isn't quite high enough in most chick starters.

Yes I believe that was what I had read about- great! I'll be picking some up today for these precious babies. Thank you so much for the swift replies
