Make sure you get some niacin available, or if at all possible, get some duckling feed with niacin in it. Good luck! Avery

I just posted another board about that! I got some tablets for dogs that are brewers yeast and garlic. I’m going to crush them up but I don’t know if I can use them.

After seeing someone post about feathers in their ducklings nose it occurred to me to mention, although you probably already know, to make sure their water is deep enough that they can clean their nares out. They need to get their entire bill in the water.

This is good advice for first time duckling owners. Wish someone had told me before my duckling scare. They stick their heads in the water and blow out their nose. It was funny to see. Oh! They will also sometimes eat their feathers. This too is normal.. apparently. Lol this is my boy Howard. Growing well. Still has feathers in his mouth but at least not his nose!

Ohh yes, make sure you have dunking water in there or a little frisbee or low pan the can swim in so the can blow out there ducts! That is very important, if you don't have that available then that my be the problem! I am glad they are showing some inporvment.

the feathers in mouth mean that it lacks protein .
it eats feathers cause feathers have some protein stuff.
my chickens eat each others fathers and stopped when we feed them lots of protein.
maybe you have the same problem?
