Niacin and ducklings

[LoreenH]

I am making a list of items I need to buy before I get my duckling this spring. I have a question about niacin; if I give the ducklings brewer's yeast I don't need to put niacin in their water correct? How much brewer's yeast do I need to put on their food? I will be getting 4 or 5 ducklings.

Thank you,
Loreen

What is the brewer's yeast for?

If you give brewer's yeast, just sprinkle some on their feed.

tplummer, regular chick starter doesn't have all the niacin that ducklings need, so sometimes it is a good idea to supplement with brewers yeast.

Good to know. Thanks for the info. I will make sure to include that with their feed their feed when I hatch out some in the spring.
