Vitamins & Electrolytes for poultry water additive; enough niacin for ducks?

[fawnda]

Hello! I recently received some new ducklings and have been reading everywhere that they need niacin. They're eating the non-medicated chick starter crumbles, which I add a bit of nutritional yeast to. I've also been adding this supplement I found for poultry that does have niacin in it, but not sure it's enough for ducks? The niacin it contains is Niacinamide and it says there are 22.5 mg of Niacin per scoop, a scoop being added to a gallon of water. Of course, they have not drunken a gallon of water yet, so I'm left wondering if there's a better way to give them niacin?

thanks!

If you feeding chick starter they need 1Tab of nutritional yeast per cup of feed niacin is very important for leg health and neurological health. Love to see pics of your babies and

Ok, thanks! I've just been sort of adding it randomly to the feed thus far, but I will follow that ratio now.
