Sandy soil with shale

[georgiapumpkin]

Hey,
I've read on here that you can give baby chicks soil from your yard instead of buying grit. I've got some sandy soil but it also has bits of shale or limestone in it I'm not sure. I live in Northeast Tennessee. Will that be ok for them?

Buy chick grit and then there's no need for second guessing.

I was but I wanted to let them get dust baths so I was going to let them have both.
