How should I provide it?

in a small heavy dish - I prefer a plastic gutter, but I have a much larger flock.

and yes, in many soils, small grit is already available. I have sandy clays and clay-y sands. So, grit.

What kind of predators do you have in your area? If you have any climbing predators, they will rip through that overhead netting like tissue paper

From the photo, it looks like a good deterrent for cats, though. Cats avoid anything destabilizing like they avoid water. If they don't have a stable footing, they'll be leery of it. So, for cats at least, having a slack, flexible top-fencing can be a good thing.

Thanks for the info guys!
I'm not asking about predators I'm asking about the tall grass.

Keep an eye out that they aren't eating long strands of the grass. It can bunch up and cause an impacted crop.

That's exactly what I was asking about. Am I supposed to stand there and watch all eleven chickens?

Not sure why you think it's funny. I'm completely serious. You asked if it was safe and I said there's a danger. Deal with it however you want.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. It's just funny because you basically said the exact same thing I asked about....with really no solution.

You watching the chicks to make sure they're not eating any long strands.
