new chick

I would be worried about the adhesives and chemicals on those type of rocks. Can you get a small box of bird grit like used for small birds?
 
If your baby is only eating chick starter, it does not need grit.

thanks. but i'm kinda torn, some of you say i need no grit, and some of you say I do.

water dissolves the feed, so I don't think it would have a problem absorbing it.

They don't need it per say (because I've raised chicks without it), but it is helpful in preparing their crops and allows them better absorption of nutrients. Wal-Mart has parakeet grit that will work, it's a fine clean sand. Play sand (the kind of sand you fill children's sandboxes with) will also work.
