Powdered brewers yeast 1tbsp/cup feed?

[CountryGalTN]

I've read through the posts on niacin. I started suspecting that 2 of my 5 pekins were showing signs of deficiency. They are in their 3rd week of life.

I got powdered brewers yeast last night. I am did 1 table spoon per cup of feed. (Dumour unmedicated chick starter).

Is that right? Is that for every feeding time?

I also have nutri drench and gave them some until I could get the brewers yeast.

Thanks!

Bath time fun.

Yes 1 tab per cup of feed. you might want to moisten the feed before adding the BY so it doesn't go straight to the bottom of the feed bowl. Just only put out a cup at a time so it doesn't sit a long time wet in a brooder that is warm. This is every time you put out a cup of feed add a Tab of BY to it.

Adorable ducklings.

They were chasing peas in the bottom of the tub. They love that.
