Powdered brewers yeast for 2 week old ducks

[Chickiemommie87]

How much should I use? Here is the nutritional facts for the stuff i got. I am wondering how much I should use. I would like to use their water to mix it since it is powder but i am not sure how much to add and how much each duckling needs. I have 2 at 2 weeks old. one walks normal but the other sort of speed scoots around the pen on its belly. When it does stand its feet look a little off.

Just add some- you could do a bunch of fancy math to make sure there's enough in the water for each one, but there's really no way to assure the one that needs it will get enough. It doesn't take much to make a difference, either- I had chickens with leg issues and I sprinkled it on their food- they had sigificant improvement within a day (all could walk again) and complete recovery after about 4 days.

I say just start with a small amount, (like a tsp per gallon) then increase it if you don't see improvement in 24 hours.
