Flock raiser for call ducklings

[Katieskerlong]

Is the purina flock raiser 20% crumbles safe for call ducklings? If I need to supplement niacin, what is best to use?

How old are they?

We use Purina duck food, which is good for all stages. We've raised lots of ducklings and everyone is happy and healthy!

Edit: I think Purina is 19% protein and the niacin content is sufficient for ducklings.

Just my opinion, I don’t think there’s any waterfowl starter around there that is perfect enough and I always add 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast per a cup of starter for my ducklings at least the first six weeks . I think @Miss Lydia does as well

I usually add brewers yeast.
And water fowl electrolytes / ducking boosters.

I don’t think they need the electrolytes unless they came by mail as Day old ducklings. They may need it the first 12 hours but always switch back to plain water after 12 hours of electrolyte water.
