So many niacin questions

That didn't work but that time it told me my picture was too large, I'm going to try and crop it and see if that helps!

I hope this works!
The bar went to 100%
I had to crop it over and over and now we have this
It was originally a picture of the entire brood

I'm going to guess white layers, since they're so small compared to the chicks. Are their bills orange or pink?

I have muscovy. I raise mine on a non medicated chick starter, and than switch to an All Flock. I haven't had any deficiencies, perhaps because mine are raised by a duck hen, and can free range. I personally wouldn't worry about extra vitamins unless you see a problem.

They are actually larger than the chicks, and they're only a few days old(about 5 I was told) while the chicks are about 3 weeks(again, that's what I was told by TSC).
Oh and their beaks are orange

I was told by my neighbor, who has ducks that I'm guessing are about a year old, that he had never he heard of niacin! But he says he didn't supplement, he gave them what he called "regular poultry feed", and lots of veggies. His ducks are all white, and happy and healthy. So I think you're right. I'll just keep an eye on them and if I see anything I will then take action.

Probably Pekins, then. Pretend I never said anything about white layers, yeah?

I could see that they're larger than the chicks. But Pekins get really big within the first week, (by three weeks, they're huge, comparatively) so their being only slightly larger than the chicks would have meant that they're a smaller breed.

Oh okay! Lol my apologies then

What for?

When you said that they were small, I thought you meant smaller than the chicks, and that's not what you meant
