Niacin deficiency???

[Isaac 0]

Should I continue the b complex??? For whatever reason, everytine after she has it, about 30mins after I can tell that she is feeling slightly better, not sure if that is just me being hopeful, or not, lol, but it seems that way!!

You can continue to administer the B complex if you want, but she's likely getting all the niacin she needs from the Mazuri Feed, as it's formulated for waterfowl specifically.

Ok, sounds good, shes a real pain to give it to, so if she doesn't need it, that would be less stressful on both of us!!

My largest peking(Rhonda) has started having issues the last cpl days, seems like a stiff neck when she gets out of the pool, and has a hard time walking towards the middle of the daY, falls down, and just lay there until i pick her up, @Isaac 0, i have read your niacin post about a million times, but I could not locate where it says if individual members of a flock can be niacin deficient or it just effects the whole flock, is it because she is a giant peking??? also, does niacin deficiency cause stiffness, and she has also started making a very sad sounding squeak!!! Any help is greatly appreciated!! I started her on durvet vit b complex 2 days, she was letting me give it to her orally, .5mg, but today she's being a little more Fiesty about it and will not!!! The food I use has a pretty high niacin content, specs attached below, thanks in advance!!!

I give my ducks sweet potato fries baked and cooled for extra Niacin they love them and brown russet potatoes

Sorry for the Delay, but here is current housing pic. A lack of hardware cloth in any store within 100miles has brought me to a screeching hault on finishing their space, so they are still living in their brooder setup, its quite large as you can see, my 10x12 workroom. She seems to be slowly getting better, mostly only falling when she tries to keep up when the crazy birds get scared and take off running(9000000 times a day) shes back to being terrified of me like the rest of them lol,and getting her sass back, she yelled at me today cause she didn't like where I moved the food to keep it dry out of the rain. I've decided to continue the b complex because of a slight pigeon toe shes got going on, and shes got ALOT of weight to move around, so she can prob use all the help she can get right now, ive been injecting it in the watermelon and giving it to her that way, she goes nuts for it, and noone gets stressed in the process, her and mama D both love it, my other peking. Thanks everyone, all of you calm alot of potentially very highly stressful situations and thats huge, for a lot of ppl,but especially the new ones!! Im very greatful of this site and everyone on it!!!!
