Is there any problem with week old chicks playing with a tennis ball?

I have six chicks about a week old. At six weeks I’ll move them outside to a coop. I have a tiny backyard and a large dog. I compost the dog poop. I want to free range the chickens when I’m home. My question is I know the chickens will scratch and peck through it. Will this harm them?

I hope this is the right place for this. I was a member over eight years ago I think. In the meantime I will soon become a chicken momma again. Super excited waiting for my daughter in laws chicken eggs to hatch in kindergarten classroom. Hopefully this week. Wish me luck.
