So it is.
I use a couple of vitamin supplements that are available here. I'll post the details in a comment with this article when I get a chance.

If you use commercial feed, and offer table scraps/veggies on the side, do you still have to give them vitamins?
A good quality feed should contain all that your chickens need. Adding table scraps and treats in the mix messes with that formulation and that is why you are not supposed to give more than 10% treats. It could get very complicated trying to give scraps as a main source of feed then trying to supplement with vitamins and minerals for what was missing.
If you are using a good quality commercial feed, you should not be feeding table scraps as this dilutes the nutrients in that feed. I consider this a waste of money! Not to mention the damage you are doing to your chicks.
