Wait, parakeet grit is bad for chicks? Should they not be consuming the calcium?

Calcium is bad for chicks until they start laying.

No they do not need the extra calcium till they start laying. It will damage their kidneys.

Crushed granite is mostly what I have seen for grit. Why do you think it's high in calcium? The parakeet grit has it added.
