Game bird starter does have niacin but not enough for ducks so must be supplemented. Brewer's Yeast is the easiest I think bc niacin is water solulable so must be refreshed twice daily if given in water.

So sorry about your baby BelindaJane. We lost one also, our kitty got way to curious
Quackers is still the same. Although yesterday she did get into her pool and swim for several hours. Day by day I guess.

Make sure they can dunk their heads in what ever you give them water in, it's very important for their health they can wash their eyes and nares out often especially when eating.

In this thread there is a pic of a homemade waterer that is safe for ducklings.
