Also, I would think you would have a feed store that would have b vitamins for sheep or cattle. They would say injectable but we give orally. Hopefully muscovy Wanda will be by shortly to help. She is also NSW I think.

Nutritional yeast is better. Do you have a vitamin store there? I don't know what else to call it.

I don't know what you mean by a vitamin store lol do you mean a chemist?

Yes chemist or feed store when you buy feed for cattle poultry etc.

Hey @Ssp! Welcome to Byc. You're right, duck feed is hard to come by here. But! Game bird starter is much easier to find, and is also made suitable for ducks. Before I found a stockist who carried duck food, I just ordered the small bags of game bird starter online from Petbarn. You can normally get it instore too if you have one close by, or most other pet and stock food places have game bird. In a real emergency when they get that weak, you can give them a dab of vegemite to give them a boost until you get something better (the salt isn't great for them so best to keep it to 1 or 2 doses). Brewers yeast is honestly okay to sprinkle over their food if you can only get that. I live out the back of nowhere and its a special order to get just a plain vitamin b complex in for cattle. Although there is plenty of horse vitamin b complex which is also safe for cats and dogs and it looks okay but I haven't personally tried it.
Also, once the ducklings are big enough and ready for grown up food, (because I know how hard that is to source too!) Just regular scratch mix will do the job. Don't get layer pellets.
