Why not? My 3-week old Speckled Sussex is eating cicadas and swallowing them whole -- I didn't even think of mashing them up. I'm pretty sure the chicks will peck and beat up the Os themselves if it's too big for them. And, I'm also fairly certain they don't need grit for breakfast cereal since the oats are processed to virtual obliteration but it's a good idea to give grit regardless.

Wow! They eat them whole?? Maybe mine r just wussy!

If I try to give them a chunk of anything I get the stink eye. If I take it back and chop it up more, they eat it! Ok...maybe they r just spoiled??
