Thanks for reaching out about Alexx. If being feed a proper nutrition, then no vitamins are needed. A diet should consist of a wide variety of vegetables, a plant-based protein source (legumes, beans), a commercially available avian pellets and some seed. Poor molting can often be associated with malnutrition, low protein, calcium or other nutrients. Good luck.
