Can I give baby chicks grit for parrots as grit for them ?

Is this okay to use? I need to know ASAP because I didn't know what grit was and I fed my baby chicks some veggies and worms and now some of them are acting sick, one looks like it might not even make it through the night. :C

It sounds like this grit has added calcium, but since they are growing, a little bit probably won't hurt them. They will need small little pieces, like coarse sand. I hope you have some chick starter to give them. Little bits of veggies will be ok, but their main diet should be the chick starter. You can add small amounts of extras as they get older.

Hope they will be alright.
