Question about grit and 4 week olds

[bryan8]

Well I'm starting the let my little 4 week olds out, so I put a dish of grit in the cool like I do with the older girls. The chick stood around it and keep eating it for a few mons so I took it out. Why did they do this and is this ok? Should I just dust there feed with it every day?

I would offer it separately. They know how much they need.

As soon as my chicks have anything other than their starter feed I give them a free choice dish of chick grit. They will take what they want.
