Congratulations!!

Yay!!
Congrats!!

May I make one more suggestion? Do you have any rubber shelf liner you could put over that grate on the floor? Those big squares scare me.

Thank you! I don’t but I do have puppy pee pads I can cut to size?

the one we used in the USA is a liquid for cattle. It has the most niacin in it. Here is a picture of the bottle. I would just put a few drops in their little food dish when they start eating which won't be for a day or two. You could put it in the water also but they make such a mess with the water I don't do that as most of it gets wasted. View attachment 3033679

We don’t have that here and I can’t find any for cattles but would something like this work?

Poultry nutri drench, nutritional yeast (commonly Bragg’s), brewer’s yeast (whether AniMed is safe is debated, I avoid), and Sav-a-Chic are all products I have used. Nutri drench is the go-to for weak or newly shipped poultry for me. B complex is the “big gun”.

Oh we do have nutri drench! Would that work instead of b complex?

I think no on the pee pads, they might soak up the moisture too much. Just keep a good eye on their little webbies that they don't get a foot stuck.

Probably but the cattle has 100mg of niacin. That is the ingredient you want the most so I guess you could give a little extra of what you've got. I'm not sure about the other stuff in it though. Here is a picture of the ingredient label from the cattle one

Quick question - the ducklings been dragging around it’s egg shell, should I remove it or wait till it falls off Itself?

I just looked at my bottle and it has zero niacin in it.
