Well if the therapeutic dose is 10X the normal daily amount you should be just fine. Now if it was someone with 0 common sense, probably not.

I don't want to bash either, but that's exactly how I got my ducks! They were the little runty ones getting trampled and my daughter rescued them away from the masses and told an employee. He basically just gave them to her with some unemotional comment about them just getting "thrown away" anyway. My muscovy from there is very bow legged / pigeon toed and her toes almost face each other she is so bow legged, but with her huge strong wings and help from us she does well. But I think that when their legs are this bad and it's more than just splay leg, all the niacin in the world won't help. It is sad...very sad and it's a shame that this happens. It doesn't matter to me though, because she is an awesome creature! She is so smart and wonderful!!I meant to say...yeah, I am pretty disappointed that someone let the ducklings get this way. I would think large chains that sell poultry would know that ducks need niacin....I don't want to bash, but these babies were rescued from a TSC where I live. I normally love that store (not for buying poultry necessarily...my ducks were ordered from Metzer) but I am just beside myself as to how they let them get this way and did nothing about it...I realize they have a lot to look after but this is soooo preventable that it's sad. The poor things. A friend of mine bought some ducklings there and they just "threw these in for free" with the others...like they just pawned them off on him and he (being brand new to ducks) had no idea what to do.
