sand in the brooder?

I have sand in the brooder and the run I love it and so do my Chicks. I clean every morning with kitty litter scoop. I have shaving in the coop for those cool nights.
 
Well, right or wrong, I put some sand from my backyard in a little shallow dish in my brooder. The chicks are week old and the floor is pine bedding. They love the sand. I figure that if they were outside with a momma hen they'd be eating and playing in it anyway. They scratch in it, peck in it and some settle down to sleep in it. I guess its like a little treat for them.
