Vitamin D recommendations please

[Redbirdacres]

I spoke with my vet and although they don't treat poultry and waterfowl, they did some research for me and believe my duckies have a vitamin D deficiency instead of the B like I've been thinking. I need recommendations for a vitamin D supplement to give them please. I tried searching but didn't see much. Thank you so much!

Never heard of vit D deficiency in ducks. I would think if they have decent feed and a good amount of sun they would be getting enough vit D. I did find this page though that says to add D3 to their diet and they need 200 IU/kg. You'd need to check your feed label and estimate their weights to figure out what amount to add. I'm guessing a liquid vit D3 would be the easiest to use.

Do your ducks go outside ?
What kind of feed are they on ?
What kind of symptoms are they showing

Never heard of vitamin D deficiency. Any supplement will perform well.
What's going on with them?

You might want to try rooster booster poultry cell. It has a wide range of vitamins and minerals that are essential, including vitamin D. A vitamin D deficiency is usually associated with reduced calcium absorption. Certain leafy greens can reduce the absorption of calcium, like spinach.
