Oh and i have given them vita chick, its basically vitamin for all kinds of poultry with no medications

Every kg of it contains
- Bacitracin MD 35.000 mg
- Vitamin A 5.000.000 IU
- Vitamin D3 500.000 IU
- Vitamin E 2.500 IU
- Vitamin K3 1.000 mg
- Vitamin B12 1 mg
- Vitamin C 20.000 mg
- Nicotinic acid 15.000 mg
- Calcium-D-pantothenate 5.000 mg

Is it good enough for the ducks ?

It sounds like you've got their nutrition covered, then. I'll bet they're fine. They're most likely getting most of their needs met by foraging in your friendly climate. That's better than any feed we could give them.

We're going into winter soon, so it'll be down to commercial feed and leftovers for my birds. Poor birdies. Last week we had a good 8" (202 mm) of snow and the overnight low was 15° Fahrenheit (-9.5° Celsius). It's supposed to be Autumn. I like it here... all but the winter , which is easily most of the year. I would definitely like it even better a tiny bit warmer.

Oh yes... they do need niacin (B3). It's present in Brewers yeast. If you can't get brewers yeast, here's a list of other niacin sources: https://www.nutritionadvance.com/foods-high-in-niacin/

Niacin is plentiful in meats & so probably also in insects. Your ducks probably take care of that need foraging.
