Has anyone tried the nutritional yeast flakes in their ducks feed. I find the brewers yeast just sifts to the bottom. Wondering if the flakes would stay mixed better in with pellets..

I mix Nutritional yeast in the FF I make for my flock.

Sorry for my ignorance but what do you mean by " FF you make for your flock"

 

[lomine]

FF = fermented feed

 

[Miss Lydia]

Sorry should have said. I mix it in right before feeding. I buy off Amazon in bulk since I use it too.

Sad update today. the brewers yeast and extra niacin to water to help my little pekin. after a week we only saw him go even farthee down hill. stopped eating. would stand in the corner of garden looking lost. lost his voice. he wasnt growing at all past 5 weeks. we decided after avlong debate that he was only sufdering through me trying to make him better. im sad to say we had to cull him out last night. this was my first time having to do this and thabkfully my husband took on that responsibility. god love him. has anyone had to make that hard decision ......come to the realization that their duckling just wasnt going to get better. i hated watching him struggle. hes in a better place now.

 

[Miss Lydia]

He really is, and most likely had what is called failure to thrive. It can happen in any animal they just don't grow won't eat properly just aren't well for hatch most of the time.

Very sorry you had to let him go but your right it was the best decision

Brewer's yeast that's the ticket.

brewers yeast didnt even help. i was hoping it would but he just wasnt getting better....only worse. but i still have 3 happy healthy pekins so now i can concetrate on them.
