Injured Duckling? Dietary issues?

[CherishedFowlGuardian]

Some people use brewers yeast . There’s an article duck forum sticky about nutritional vs brewers. I prefer nutritional.

Thanks; I didn't know this, but I will read the article.

Hi! I realize this was a few days ago but I just got my Khaki Campbell ducklings yesterday. I got them the Manna Pro Duckling feed but after reading comments here, it seems I still need to supplement Niacin? I keep nutritional yeast on hand for myself so I can start them on it right away if it's needed. This is my first post and first round of ducklings and want to get it right. Thank you!

They might be ok without it but I like the extra assurance and it gives them a great start with strong legs. Even with mannapro duckling gosling starter and nutritional yeast I had one duckling last year, whose legs started shaking, when he was about five weeks old,so I started giving him liquid bcomplex every day until his legs got strong enough to not shake anymore.

Thank you so much for your reply and the information. I appreciate it. I added 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast per cup of food starting last night for them. I agree some extra assurance is nice to have. Glad you were able to get your little guy on the right track. I'll keep an eye on their legs and will purchase liquid B Complex if I notice they may need some extra support. Thank you so much again!
