Ducklings & Niacin

By The Cape Coop

Niacin (also known at Vitamin B3) is a vital nutrient that ducklings need to grow strong & healthy bones.

Anyone who has raised ducklings knows they grow crazy fast – sometimes it seems to happen right before your eyes. In the first two weeks of life, the average duckling gains 7 times their birth weight!!

As a comparison, it takes a human baby 6-7 YEARS to gain 7 times their birth weight (and you thought your human baby grew up too fast!)

Find out how to make sure your ducks are getting the nutrition that they need!
