Can I give my 2 week old chicks a sand bath with reptile vita or calcium sand?
 
They might enjoy having a sand bath, but to be on the safe side I would stay away from any sand with calcium in it. If they end up ingesting some, they could get too much calcium and that can cause kidney damage.
 
Keep it simple - kids' sandbox sand is what I give my chickens. I mix it in with loose dirt - they love it!
