Would anyone know where I can get Nugget a duckling friend around central Illinois? Farm and Home only have them around April..

Try looking on Craigs list and you might also check into adoptions Pet finder is one or there maybe water fowl rescues in your area. Did you check out the buy sell trade thread here on BYC

I need some help my mallard ducks are on. Day 9 of incubation and I saw veins earlier in the week but not now all I can make out is a black mass. Please help the temp has been going up and down from 97 to 110 I freaked out when they were at 110 an roughed them and the didn't seem to hot but I cooled them down and put them back in are they ok?

OH boy 110 does NOT sound good at all, how long has it been? If its been several days your best bet is to smell the egg see if there's any odor coming from it. Try to candle it and stare at it for any types of movements.

What's the Niacin percentage?

You might have to send an email to the company to ask. You may need to supplement.

Where is Metzer Farms located at? Do you know? Or do they have a website?
