Sometimes people who are new to raising ducklings struggle to find the right food for them. Were you able to find duckling feed? Or all flock crumbles?

I got unmedicated chick starter grower and I’m adding nutritional yeast. Just off of research it’s 2 tablespoons per cup of feed. Is this accurate?

Yup but it wouldn’t hurt to use a little more up to 2Tbsp especially since your feed is chick starter I would add 1.5 tbsp per cup for now. B vitamins are water soluble so it’s hard to overdose them. However, the nutritional yeast does have protein and you don’t want to go too crazy with extra protein because it might be a factor in Angel wing.

Hi! Aww, sorry about Puddles. You gave it the best start you could and I hope you have better luck with your new incubator. Temperature and humidity consistency should help a lot.

I'm glad you found this site! Thanks for joining and welcome to BackYard Chickens!
