Food for ducks does have it
Our stores dont sell duck specific feed.
CHICK feed is what most people here are feeding/ or a flock raiser... hence the need.
Mine have full access grass. They still had shakey legs last spring. And one wanted to lay down often.
A regular wild breed like a mallard doesnt need xtra and do great in the wild
Domestic ducks have been bred to be larger and they grow faster and they need it. Thats great that yours have never needed it. But this forum is full of ducklings who have had trouble until its added--- and then were fine after they got the needed amount
One of my current had shakey legs last week... so i started wetting the food to be sure they were actually getting the niacin... and legs are fine this week.
Ducks in the wild are also able to swim and find way more bugs and worms and different vegetation/ variety than or yards have.
You also should avoid making so many accusations about people you dont even know....
No one jumped on a bandwagon here
Dont live in the suburbs
Have the experience and have done the research
Sounds like you may want to do some!
