If chicks eating grass, should I put sand in?

So I am fairly new to all this, raised some on grandpa's farm but that was a long time ago...should I put some sand from the river into the cage for them if they are eating grass? I have grit but looks too large for them, they knew I had chicks though. Thank you all.

Sand probably couldn't hurt, and will also give them something to scratch and dust-bathe in too. When I give my chicks grass I pull up a whole clump, roots & dirt & all. They have a ball pecking it apart.

and welcome (back) to the fun of chickeneering!
