    Sand for grit?

    What age regular grit?

    Hi guys! I'm so glad I can come pick y'all's brains whenever I have a question or problem, you are all so helpful! So what I am wondering today is, can I give my 9-week old chicklets the same grit I give my adult hens? I am out of the baby grit and can't get any for a couple of days. They do...
