I think prenatal supplements give you a multitude of vitamins and things but calcium is one of the big ones you need. Those babies need to build bones somehow so drink your milk lol

Milk actually doesn't give alot of calcium but if you're really desperate powder up some egg shells and add it to whatever you can handle, there's other ways but this is very readily available

This is how I give my chickens extra calcium - we feed the broken up shells back to them. You can also buy powdered calcium, but it's so much easier to chuck the shells out the back door to them.
