Hey all! So a friend told me that you don't need to add niacin to ducklings water, just sprinkle nut. yeast. How much should I put on their food? THanks sooo much! 
Niacin or nutritional yeast??

Brewers yeast is what you want, I just sprinkled about 1 tab to a couple cups of feed.Hey all! So a friend told me that you don't need to add niacin to ducklings water, just sprinkle nut. yeast. How much should I put on their food? THanks sooo much!

oh and that will just cover all niacin issues? Just one tab per couple cups? Awesome!!! Thanks!!
If adding Niacin will that do as good as adding some vitamins or is it better to supplement them as well or neither? Just got my first ducklings and one is definitely behind in growth, only about half the size of the other one although they hatched the same day... Kinda worried about the little guy...

You can feed your ducklings flock starter and you shouldn't have to worry about niacin deficiency. We have fed our Swedish blues flock starter from day one and they grow extremely quick. It's a good idea to continue feeding it till they are full grown. Our swedes are about 8 weeks they feed free range and get flock starter every day.

Yes, usually if feeding either flock raiser/multi purpose feeds or duck starter or broiler starter you won't need added niacin, just basic chick starter is lacking and will need to be supplemented.
