@Miss Lydia How much of this would you use for an older duckling?

Ducks and ducklings need 55 mg of niacin per 1 kg of food, or about 10 mg per duck per day. Those numbers are for maintenance. OP's duckling already have a bad case of pigeon toe so he/she'll need much more than that.

Stop the yeast. It isn’t going to do anything. Unless you’re making bread.

I believe the OP has Bob's Red Mill yeast, which I believe is nutritional yeast. (I have one too from Bob's Red Mill.) Nutritional yeast has the highest niacin content of all food I know.

If it's baking yeast, then ofc you're right.

The only kind I see when googling that is nutritional yeast, so you have the right stuff.

Im very confused what I should be giving him. I'm trying to do the right thing, and people are telling me to use this then don't use that

She's talking about niacin I'm talking about B-complex which can't hurt anything

So I had them all in the tub aboit 15 min ago... he pooped and it looked white and cloudy but that was in water so idk ?? I got the complex and it seems 1 ML is a very small amount and it's really liquid so I'm not sure he would get the full dose if I put it over food. Today he seems not crazy over food. I'm getting worried bit will still do everything I can
