I believe in SC Southern States is Agway. I know SS bought a lot of Agway stores in the North and stuck with the Agway name since it was well known there. Either the starter or Flight conditioner will do the job, they need niacin to build wings the same as building healthy legs.~gd

Before you worry about the niacin addition, you ought to check the requirement with what your feed is providing. Ducks need 55 mg niacin/kg diet (90% dry matter :1994 NRC recommendations). There isn't an age difference in ducks as there is in chickens. For reference, white eggs layers (leghorn type) need 27 mg/kg as chicks, and after 6 weeks it drops to 11 mg/kg. Brown egg layers are aboput 0.7-1 mg less. You need to check what your feed has and then decide if you need to supplement.
