Getting Cayugas, first ducklings!

[Cayuga momma]

Oh and my Cayuga girl just started laying on February 28th. She will be 9 months on the 4th.

Little Muppets got some scrambled egg, blueberries and mealworms for breakfast in my attempt to supplement their niacin naturally lol seeing as theyre on chick starter.
What are other good treats for ducklings? I'm bribing them into friendliness! If I have my way these babies will be passive aggressive lap ducks one day lol. Sorry theirs no exciting pics, they're pretty lazy unless I'm refilling thier water tub.

My ducklings LOVED peas. Which I believe has a decent amount of niacin in them. I would roll the peas on the floor and let them run after them. Also, they loved to eat peas out of my and my kids hands.

If you want to supplement naturally, the best way is to feed them foods with animal protein. Mealworms, tuna, salmon, bugs, etc.... those foods are high in niacin.

Perfect I have salmon, mealworms and peas! So that too shall be going towards their diet!

I took this today. Mine will take a finger off with tomatoes. It's the only treat they like.

@tacothechicken be sure to offer chick grit to your ducklings when feedingvanything other than their starter and put it in a separate bowl don’t mix it in their feed. Cute little things

Sold 8 of my 15 four week old pullets today, so I moved the ducklings in whith the last 5 pullets in their 3x6 area, it was like introducing a squad of cool middleschoolers to a bunch of plucky kindergarteners and saying 'make friends' lol.
