I thought I knew...

The small grit for chicks is Number 1 size grit. I bought a 50 pound bag of Cherry Stone brand at my feed store a while back. The six month olds didn't like the larger stuff so all the ages get the small stuff. You can find little bags of it for sale. Sand works for them, too, I've been told.

All my birds had grit offered after they were a few days old. I wanted make sure they had it so I could give treats to help tame them.
 
I have 5 week old chicks but I have no grit or alternatives to grit. Is it ok to feed them treats like yogurl and chopped up cabbage?
