Help! I think my duck doesn't have enough niacin in her body and she can’t walk now, what do I do??

Yes, I am not familiar with Walmart brand but I'm sure it would work.

Thank you. Do you perhaps know if all nutritional yeasts are just as helpful or are some perhaps better?

I would get off all that corn and other things daily things other than a balanced feed should only be about 10% of diet.

Okay, thank you.

Defrosted frozen peas sprinkled with niacin powder. I use this with my young runners:

All have different amounts of ingredients.

Yes, you can also use a niacin supplement just make sure it's not a time release type as it will not work.

As far as I know, the duck can't get too much niacin.

The capsules I use for my runner ducks, when they go through a shaky leg stage, seem to help them. I'm not a vet. Most people will tell you to take the duck to an avian vet, but that is very expensive.

Thank you. It might be a dumb question, but is it safe for ducks to consume human supplements? Also can you sprinkle the powder on other foods that aren’t peas?

Oh, thank you.
