Chick outside playtime safely

[MatthewMChickens]

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of letting my four three week old (not sure about age entirely) baby chicks outside for some play time. They are getting really excited and it would be helpful I think to expel some energy.
I have read about the "need" for grit, but if I take them outside on grass in a run will they need a grit supplement or will they be okay without it?

Thank you,
Matt

they don't need anything extra. they are gonna scratch and peck and will get any grit they need.

Yep. If they have access to soil/dirt there's really no need for grit.
