You might need niacin till its 8 or 10 weeks depending on the feed you bought?...

 

[belindajane]

Yes....I would for a week or so...I get Duck feed here so I am lucky....Depends if niacin is high enough in that feed for Ducklings?

How much niacin? is it for ducks or is it for people How many milgrams?

Sorry for the lost little one...

Niacin at 100-150mg per gal of water, yes? Gamebird feed should have enough, but best to give it in the water until they are recovered...

How much protein is in the gamebird feed though? Some is really high and *could* cause angel wing, just fyi...
