How can a feed bag not have a label? Do you remember the name of it so we can look it up online and find out what it is?
Foot looks OK I’m just concerned about the Feed because Ducks need more niacin than chickens and whenever one of my decks start moving the first thing I do is give her this 1 ml per day You can put it in a small dish of mealworms or other treats, she will eat Make sure she eats it all. It can also be given directly orally with a syringe that has no needle on it. It has to go down the right side back of their throat. Make sure it doesn’t go into the wind pipe (trachea), which is in the center. I will post instructions. But yeah, we need to find out what she’s eating.View attachment 4236468

i just meant the feed doesnt list how much niacin, just says it has supplement in the ingredients thing. its agrimaster all flock feed, but like i said ive been trying to get my stepdad to swap to waterfowl feed. because i already knew it would most likely not have enough niacin. ill try to get him to go to the store soon to get supplement too, thank you

Yes, most feeds don’t have niacin under feed label.

All flock pellets are fine. To add extra niacin you can sprinkle some brewers yeast or nutritional yeast on their food up to 1 tablespoon per cup of Feed.
(It’s a little expensive to use it all the time so I just add some now and then but when they’re little, I added it all the time when they’re ducklings. )
The liquid B complex says injectable on the bottle, but don’t worry about that. It’s injectable for cattle, but we give it orally to Ducks.

By the way, she’s a beautiful duck.
And also by the way, if you can’t get the duvet liquid be complex, you can use some other niacin supplement, but you have to make sure it’s niacinamide and it’s not flush free and it’s not time released and give 100 mg per day (the Durvet has 100 mg of niacinamide per one ML of liquid)
