Supplement?

[Duckduckgoosie]

I have a pair of week old Runners on Flockraiser. Do they need a naicin supplement too?

Also- can they have any treats yet, and do they need grit?

Niacin is very important - esp when they're young. I use nutritional yeast flakes as a top dressing. There are other sources, too.

Glad you are givign them niacin supplements: ALl ducklings need it if they are eign fed flock raiser rahter htan ducky crumbles. Pekins need more -- We give brewer's yeast to pekin ducklings on duckling crumbles.

They are old enough to start eating treats, but they will also need chick grit on the side when they start eating anything more than crumbles.
