I think my ducks are sterile

[New duck mommy 2021]

@Miss Lydia
I want to make sure I’m giving these babies all they need to stay healthy and grow strong
I have added nutritional yeast to the feed but keep reading about vitamin B complex or poultry cell. I bought the vitamin B but not sure if it’s good for ducks. I have added a photo of what I got and the poultry cell I can buy.
Also how do I mix it ?
Can you please let me know what one would be best and how to use it.
Thank you in advance

I've never used poultry cell but @HollowOfWisps has rec it, only problem with using the liquid b complex for humans is you have to use more for ducks. IF your in the US and have a TSC close the Durvet Liquid B complex is a real good one to have on hand. Use the Nutritional yeast 1 tab per cup of feed and have the liquid B complex on hand in case you have one show up with leg issues. Hopefully, it won't happen. Keep the liquid b complex in the frig. I see you already bought the B complex. So just keep it in the frig in case you need it and tell us how much B3 is in it. I think Hollowofwisps said she starts her ducklings out on the poultry cell. I have always used Poultry Nutri drench. Don't buy anything until you hear from her then research which one you'd like to use.

Okay thank you
Here is a picture of the ingredients

I LOVE poultry cell and it has saved so many of my ducklings! For the first week all of my ducklings get poultry cell in a separate waterer. I just follow instructions on the bottle for the dilution rates. If I have a duckling that is struggling I draw .25cc in an oral syringe, place one single drop on the edge of the inside of their bill and allow them to "chew" a few times before placing another drop. I continue this slowly until the syringe is empty. After that I give my ducks a dose of poultry cell once a month diluted in their water overnight.

That looks good for using. You can offer over feed or a tasty treat like crushed up meal worms. I usually crush up mealworms for my ducklings until they are a couple weeks old. Not to fine but just take them in my hand and smash so they aren't as long.

I will order this one and get started
So far they look great but I have seen to often in posts things can go wrong quickly so want to make sure I’m doing all I can for them

I'm brooding some ducklings now and have been sprinkling this on their feed. So far, so good.
