The Big Move

You can supplement their food with the brewers yeast. If you are feeding an all flock feed, it won't hurt them. What I have read on here is that generally feeds are mixed the same, but there can be variations in batches so add the brewers yeast to be safe.
Did I miss their pics?

Okay, with all the research I have done I have not heard of anyone that has said to do this. what is the yeast for? Here is a pic they have went from .5lbs to one is 1.5lbs and the other is 1lbs in just a week! Also do I need to at any point restrict their access to food? Just didn't know if they will over eat like a dog haha.

Well as you can see mine are in my house haha and I'm using a lamp and one half is chips and a sheet on the water side. I have found that it is easier to wash that once a day with the water on that side as they tend to make messes! we are getting to 47/50 degrees during the day now and 30 at night so this weekend they are going to the garage but will still be using a heat lamp.

I wish mine could be in the house...I am not aloud.

Haha ya mine have been in for two weeks now so its time for them to go. but I also only have two, any more than that I probably would have been told no also haha.

Brewers yeast is a form of niacin. It is a supplement and used instead of niacin in capsule or liquid form.

And @CayugaJana could explain.

Also, I think as far as restricting food - not until they are 4 weeks or so.
If you haven't gotten the Storey's Guide to raising ducks - I highly recommend it.

I might have missed, but how do you have their water set up?
