It won't hurt to have grit available - I do for all mine plus they free range all the time and find small stones too

My chicks are four and a half weeks old and are on Marriages chick crumb.  I've been following this thread about growers pellets and would like to know if it is essential to move them on to this soon.  I'm asking because I still have 3/4 of a sack of chick mash and only 4 chicks   there is no way they will eat all this for about another 4-6 weeks.

Also, I can't work out whether there is grit already mixed in to the feed, I've checked the web site but I'm still confused. Should I be feeding them grit as a supplement?

Thank you.

yes feed grit as a supplement and yes you can keep them on chick crumb for a few more weeks (remember they will eat more as they get older so it may go quicker than you think  ).
