I have run out of grit and am worried that my girls aren't getting enough. Anything I could use until our order comes?

You're going over the top on the grit issue here. BAGGED CHICKEN FEED HAS GRIT IN IT. Now please stop worrying, there is nothing to stress over and continually ask questions about. This is a non-issueYes. I will stop feeding any treats while we don't have grit. I am asking for a substitute because I am A) Worried that they have not been getting enough in the past few days, so would like to have it available for them to help fill in that gap, and B) Worried that there is other stuff may get into their run, like leaves and bugs and feathers, that they could eat and need grit for.
Here is my evidence against there being grit in chicken feed:
Here is me trying to fit a rock on the smaller side into the ‘pellet’. As you can see, it would be pretty obvious if it was in it.
Are you aware of the search function here on BYC?I'm getting some conflicting information on sand. Should I just go around and try to find a bunch of tiny rocks? Grit is going to be ordered tomorrow.
