Adult grit for chicks

[Chicken_Little_AGray]

I have 8 and 9 week old chicks. I bought adult grit for them. Can I give it to them? Their run has a dirt floor, so I don’t see why it would be a problem. Just making sure it’s safe. Thanks!

It is safe to offer them adult grit.
If the pieces are too big, the chicks will not eat them.

If the grit has pieces in many different sizes, the chicks will probably be able to eat the little pieces now, and the bigger ones after they grow some more.

They can have this! If it's too big they won't eat it. They grow SO quickly at this age, so they should be totally fine.
