Thank you for the advice about the grit. They are definitely eating little bugs already and bits of plants and compost. They have access to a lot of sand everywhere in Florida. Would this act as grit??

Sand is too fine for grit. They need larger stone particles than that. Chick grit is inexpensive. Just put it in a secured separate container that the chicks cannot knock over.
