What type of brewers yeast to buy

[Abriana]

I’m getting ducks and I know they need brewers yeast, but I’m not sure what type to buy. I found this one on amazon, it’s unsweetened and stuff so I thought it would be ok.

Is this ok? Any thoughts/suggestions welcome!

Looks good to me!

I had gotten brewers yeast tablets at Wal-Mart for $4 and just crushed them into a fine powder. This was my first year with ducks and I only have 2 but the bottle lasted until they were grown. Not sure if that was the best option but it was inexpensive and worked for me.
What you found looks like it would be easier since its already in powder form and more of it

I might actually get it from the store, instead of ordering it. I think powder would be easier but if I can’t find powder then I’ll try tablets. Thanks!

Do you have purina flock raiser at your feed store? You don't have to supply niacin with it.

I plan to use my chicken feed, which I buy organic and at a local family owned farm.

Oh I see! Cool. Never mind then.

Thanks for the help though! Also as part of the deal of getting ducks, I have to pay for everything, but my dad will pay for the food since it will be the same as the chickens.

Nice! Just make sure it's formulated for all ages.

They will have grower/starter as ducklings and layer when they begin laying. And they’ll be in a run so the layer will be separate from the ducklings. Good night!
