Either the pieces are too big and the chicks ignore them until they grow, or the pieces are an acceptable size and the chicks eat them. Either way, the chicks are not in any danger. Most likely, the chicks pick through the grit you give them, throw most of it on the floor, and eat a few bits...

Grit is little rocks. Sand is little rocks. But sand might not be the right size rocks. Rocks that are too big will get ignored by the chicks. Rocks that are too small might get eaten, but will go right through the chicken instead of staying in the gizzard to grind up food. Buying grit is one...
