dont stop multivitamins. You can get livestovit & add to their water. Also if your environment is cold

increase the maize in your feed like 5-7% cause of cold(if there is cold) & add full fat soya to your feed to necessitate size increase(not much so the eggs wont be too big to leave the vent of your birds,that could cause problem). Note- if your birds were not laying & began to lay or relay,it could be so,later it will pick naturally
