Is this sand safe for 2 week old chicks?

[Frstimechick]

Hi guys! I've researched and read on the types of sand to use and what not to use but I want to double check. We have a two week old that is starting to take dust baths in her bedding and crumble any chance she gets so I think it's time to get some sand! Plus the other girls will probably enjoy it too. I found this on Menards website, is it ok? Thank you!

A tub of just plain dirt will work fine.

A tub of just plain dirt will work fine.

I haven't gotten them any grit yet. I know there's rocks and stuff in dirt, but will that still be alright?

Dirt out of your yard works just fine

It should be fine for them, but that is 60lb of sand. If you don't need it for another purpose, suggest the $2 smaller bag. I had some around when the littles were little, and they loved it. (But, as others say, dirt is fine, too.)
