Chicks eating peat moss?

[avodah]

My chicks are 4 days old. I put them on large drawing paper (I Got a TON of it for free) . I was reading about people using peat moss in their brooder, and since I had an extra bag I added some of it to mine. The chicks are SOO happy! There scratching arround on it and pecking at it. I made two piles of it away from the lamps (I heard it was flammable and I don't have enough to cover the whole thing. My only worry is that their eating some of it. Is this ok? I'm feeding them fermented chicken starter.

*all the hippies out there: I know the deal with peat moss, I just have 1/2 a bag left so I figured I would put it to good use.

I wouldn't give it to chicks because it is flammable, save it for their dust bath area.
I gave my chicks a sandy brooder this time ,
It's great and they get grit without even meaning too !!
