Even though there was a bit and back and forth I think it was important that all this was said because a lot of people are going to read this and understand more about niacin now.

And hopefully makes people scratch their head at the idea of synthetic chemicals!

And who said science wasn't fun!!

So where do we stand on flush free versus non-flush free?

Flush free kinds, like the ones I pictured earlier, are not a good niacin supplement, imo.
The ones that contain these things:
INOSITOL NICOTINATE and INOSITOL HEXANICOTINATE are not good.

I have never given any of my ducks extra niacin, vitamin b, brewers yeast, or nutritional yeast. I occasionally give a droopy newly-hatched duckling a dose to a few doses of Nutridrench.
I use Purina Flock Raiser most of the time, but also resort to Dumor layer feed, or whatever is available/most economical at the time of purchase. I have given them chick starter (yes the amp medicated kind too), starter/grower, grower/finisher, meatbird, showbird....
My preference is Flock Rasier, when they have it and when it doesn't cost twice as much as something else.

Sorry, I’m no help here. I can’t even remember to take my own pills in the morning, and I’ve never had ducks haha. Good information for the future though!

@Tesumph any professional opinion here?
