Hi all,
I have a mixed flock of chicks and ducklings and I am looking for a grower feed that contains niacin for the ducks and only has about 1.0% calcium since they're still young. I'm having trouble finding this in Canada (southwestern Ontario, more specifically). It's the niacin that seems to be missing, even from duck-specific feeds. And the stores that sell feed aren't particularly helpful, they just go by what's listed on the product and niacin is never listed. I'd really rather not supplement so I don't have to track how much feed they're all eating (plus I wouldn't know if it's the chicks or ducks who is getting at it).
Does anyone know of any products available in Ontario that meets the niacin and 1% calcium requirements?
