A good supplement for fertility is Vitamin E its an aid to fertility and better hatching results and you can buy it from some pet shops or online from places like vetafarm

Good greens like broccoli also help

What may help is to mash the veg together with their favorite like grapes then they may eat more veg and get a taste for them, worked in my case.

Hi, Beccy,

Siverbeet and spinach are also high in vitamins and minerals and really easy to grow in the garden.

Bellsouth have a number of vitamin supplement products available

I use avian multi vitamin especially for the chicks from birth and I find they do much better with the xtra vitamins than with just their normal foods
