Chirping
Hello, I was wondering if I should be worried about my chicks eating sand. I saw a few of the chicks (they are 12-14 days old) appearing to try to bathe in their pine shavings. So I went down to the stream, and got some of the sand that is on the edges, sanitized it in the oven, and gave it to the chicks in a pie pan. They seemed nervous about it at first, but an hour later I peaked in and they were all eating it!
Am I being over cautious by taking it away? Or should I trust them to do what nature tells them to? Should I put some grit in the dust bath in case that’s what they
Also sorry for an question in a question, has anyone sifted normal adult grit to give to chicks instead of buying chick grit?
