Could one give a "prenatel" vitamin to laying emus to possibly help in case of a deficiency?

that's one of the reason Janice Castleberry recommended a lower incubation temperature.. she said that the birds which were incubated with lower temps seemed overall healthier with a lot less issues... and they took a few more days to hatch than birds incubated at higher temps...
when you think on it.. the adult birds don't incubate at 97.5... it's much closer to 95.5 (which you can determine by length of incubation)

Hi, I'm new to emus, I hope it's OK to jump in!
Can anyone recommend a favorite brand of vitamins? I use LaFeber's for my pet finches, but that could get expensive for emus.
I took cardboard and cut flaps on the ends and folded it up to create a large "soda" box. I cut some of the indoor/outdoor rug and put it in and then added a cardboard sides and got a nice little pen for the 2 remaining chicks. They look lost in it right now but they will grow fast. Going to work on my Peafowl pens today (Thursday) as they were really badly damaged in the last snowstorm. The 12 inches of wet snow caved in the netting and broke a few posts as well. Once they are up the Emus will be outside for a few hours to get them legs growing. Here's some pictures I took tonight:
The older chick has the string on it's leg. Theodore is the one on the left in both pictures.
