Maybe try sand?

We've had 5 batches of chicks raised in pine shaving brooders over the past few years and all of them "ate" some pine shavings. Even our chicks raised outside with their mamas eat various wood shavings and dirt pieces. I've never had any get sick or hurt from them. It seems very natural.
