I am going to watch this thread. I hope I am not doing anything wrong by not using it. I just didn't know what it is for. If I need to make sure my ducks have that then I will get some myself.

With duck starter you usually don’t need to supplement. What symptoms did your duckling have before it died? Very sorry for your loss. @Mhoward

May not have been a niacin deficiency could have been something genetic just hard to say. The rest acting okay? Can you post pics of your brooder set up what type or heat lamp and light bulb?

I also have a larger water bowl for them inside it too.

Nice set up cute little ones. Reg heat lamp no Teflon? I can only see one problem they need a different feeder their bills are wider these feeders are made for chicks. Hopefully what ever was wrong with the one that passed was just something with him.
