When to introduce oyster shell to chicks?

I am also in Alberta and have been having trouble finding anything labeled as chick grit anywhere. My chicks are 3 weeks old and ate their bedding at first and I also wanted to give some treats so I went to a pet store and found fine grit for pet birds. They love it and have done great with it :)
I tried this as well when I was new, but all of the ones I found had added minerals like calcium.

They are better off only eating properly formulated feed for chicks, and if you want to give them a treat, scrambled eggs are the best thing to give, they won't need grit to digest them.
