Is This The Start Of Niacin Deficiency?

[TiaNicole]

could this be the start of a Niacin Deficiency? I’m currently feeding them meatbird crumble and I’m adding in nutritional yeast. I was only adding 1 tablespoon per pound but then realized I read it wrong and was told to do 1 tablespoon per cup so I have done that. I’ve also just started tonight giving each of them 1ml Vitamin B complex. Anything else I should be doing?

Hi, from the video, it does appear that the duckling has some very slight pigeon-toed feet going on, so probably best to start treatment before symptoms worsen. For more info read here,

Thank you! I’ve start all four ducklings on the vitamin b complex tonight, 1ml over mealworms. I’ve also added nutritional yeast to their food.

Great, are they just above three weeks?

They are 3 days away from being 3 weeks.
