Where to get niacin?

[Justy0]

So I just got four little ducklings and I got them non medicated chick starter but the store I got them at didn't have any niacin, and I know ducks need more then chicks so I was wondering if anyone knew what form I should get? I heart you can get it from drug stores but do they make some specifically for birds?

Also I have been wetting the food like I did for my last ducklings, but I have had mixed results as to whether you need to actually wet it. I have it right next to their water so they can have as much water as they need, but I just don't know if wetting it matters or not?

I bought bird vitamin drops from Wal-Mart. They are in the section with the bird seed and bird toys. It has niacin plus other vitamins. I put them in my ducks water. They are alive and well almost a year later.

Here is what I use. You can get this at most grocery stores.
1tbsp to one cup of feed.

Thanks @onaharley

You’re very welcome! My ducks are 7 months old and I still use it but only like once a week versus every day when they were growing.
