Read the label on the parakeet grit...I went to get some for my chicks, as Tractor Supply was out of chick-size grit...the parakeet grit I found had oyster shell in it. You don't want to give oyster shell to your babies, not until they start laying eggs...so be careful. I ended up taking some regular size granite grit and crushing it smaller for the babies. Worked fine, it's not hard to break up with a hammer.
