They don't get vitamins from feces. They get probiotics from it. I use Gro2Max for that. Yogurt works too.
All the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fats and energy is in chick starter. That's all you need.

Go easy on added vitamins and minerals. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

Chicks fed a complete feed should not need additional vitamin supplementation. While there could be some residual nutrients found in feces, we wouldn’t recommend relying on feces as a source of nutrients.
