Pekin Duck Club!

[Miss Lydia]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the help!

Your very welcome once they get started on the supplement it usually take less than a week to see improvement unless the ducks are older and their legs have been this way for quite a while.

Let us know how they are doing.

Just an FYI, I bought brewers yeast (B3 niacin) from our local feed store, it is marketed for horses so comes in a huge tub for around $12. It has a measuring spoon in it so I add it to their feed.

Can you please tell us how many mgs of niacin is in the animal Brewers yeast?

The brand was Saratoga Vetinary Products 100% natural.

Nutritional analysis for 14grams gives 5.00mg Niacin. I added one scoop which is 14mg to my ducks dry feed each day.

First time duck owner here, I have 7 laying hens. 3 Pekins 7 wks. old. Man do they grow up fast! They were bought as straight run so I don't know what I have yet. I am hoping for at least a pair so I can get a few eggs. They are having a little trouble with ramp up to pool but 2 of them have it figured out now. They are hilarious to watch their antics.
I also have 2 White Chinese Geese, straight run, 3 weeks. old.
will try to post some photos.
I enjoy the forum.

@GooseFanatic
how old are you ducklings assuming  ducklings since you say you have heat lamp? do you have good ventilation in your coop

Hello
They are are few months old already have adult feathers coming in. I close the coop windows and night as we have many predators but I wake up normally 7:00am and open the coop up so they can go in and out and open the windows of it. My coop is split into two sides right now as I have a few week old gosling, ducking and two chicks in side with heat lamp it still gets warm on both sides.

Your older ducklings don't need heat anymore. Make sure they are not getting to hot in there
