Do tiny banty chickens need chick grit always or can they have the big girl stuff,Chicken grit??

My banty hens are unusually small,even for bantams. My dh says they should just get chick grit, I love him,but he is NO expert,though he would beg to differ....What do y'all think?

I have nine bantam orpington chickens and I feed them the chick grit since they may or may not be able to physically eat the larger chicken grit. As far as I know the only difference between the two grits is the size. I have no plans to change them to the chicken grit. So I see no problem giving them the chick grit. In fact I bought a whole years supply of chick grit in the spring when it was on sale at Tractor Supply when they were selling their baby chicks.
