I just got 4 baby chicks that are all less than a week old. They have pine shavings in their brooder, but I am going to put rough sand in their future coop. Is it okay to boil some sand from outside for their temporary grit ?

Go to the store and get them a small bag of chick grit. It is very small granite special for chicks.I just got 4 baby chicks that are all less than a week old.

Okay thank you, I just couldn't find any of this information anywhere else.I gave mine mealworms and strawberry tops and a couple of other things after I started giving them the outdoor dirt and they've been fine.
