Starter crumbs or pellets?

[Lor]

No you do not! Everything I read said ducklings were messy and smelly. I underestimated that big time!

As ducklings mine must have thought their names were "Dirty, Dirty Birds!" I said it often enough.

Thanks! I have been sprinkling some nutritional yeast flakes over their feed. So I assume now I should keep doing that even with the pellets? I’m just worried because they are starting to get very big and they are still so young! I’m so scared their legs are going to give out !

Nutritional yeast often -- but not always -- contains a higher concentration of niacin/niacinamide than brewer's years. Check the label and make sure yours contains niacin/niacinamide and if it does you are good to go sprinkling it on your duckling's food
