MJ's little flock

I'm worried about how much these chicks like eating sand. Should I let them have at it?

No problem. Sand is grit for chicks, it helps to digest, like grit for chickens.

I've been giving them access to a box of that clean sand for two separate hours a day. They start by eating it and finish by dust bathing in it, all piled in together.
