My Love Affair With Ducks...

That is what I’m using. And a teeny tiny one at that. It must be a diabetic syringe.View attachment 2073737

I don’t open her bill, I just let it syphon in. That seems to work better in chickens though.

Looks like one.. I didn’t mean orally.


I have no idea of dosage. But a tad under the skin with thin needle is what I was implying.

Oh, okay. Gotcha! That would be so much easier if it would not complicate matters.

@casportpony can give direction for using a needle. Are you putting it in their water too?

No, I had not put it in the water. I had the stuff the hatchery sent in their water until today. I didn’t think I should mix the two. How much should I add to a gallon? I can break it down to quart amount to ensure freshness.

1 ml to 1 qt give it to them this way till @casportpony gives us a guide line on accurate doses. Are you putting NY over feed?

I had only put it over their egg yolk.

That’s fine if all are eating it. When I had duckling last year I put the B complex in their water an NY over there food

Please when posting here keep in mind. She is an addict.

We will need to not encourage her reckless behavior. She has went so far as to be using injectable niacin.

To cure insanity? That doesn't work. Insanity cannot be cured by large doses of niacin unless the insanity was caused by pellagra, a disease brought on by niacin deficiency. (I sincerely
hope that this is a joke... and if it is, or even if it's not, please don't say stuff like that withou making it clear that it's a joke -- some people won't be able to tell that it's a joke, and that could lead to niacin overdose if those people try to cure some thing or another with niacin). (Apologies of I'm being too serious or over-the-top about this -- I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea and do something detrimental to their health because they can't tell when someone's joking).
Also, if she's crazy for liking ducks, then so am I. I already know that I'm crazy, though... been a tad loopy as far as I can remember, and there's no reversing it.
(Again, apologies for the little niacin rant).

Read the whole post.

I see no where in it where I said anything about a dosage of niacin...

Yes, you were too serious and a tad over the top in my opinion.
