I need some that are about 6x6x1".

Processed chicken normally comes in a waxed box. These boxes d
on't
normally go to a box compactor. They are normally disposed of
with
processed food and produce compaction. Because of dangers rela
ted to
chicken type related bacteria, its doubtful that a grocery store
would give such a box to the public. This despite the chicken
itself
is kept in hermitically sealed plastic within such a box.

It's for sprouting wheat grass for my pet birds, I sure wouldn't use
anything but new clean non-toxic boxes.

Anywhere that sells clay flower pots will also sell the bottom dish, I
think that will be perfect for your use and they are very
inexpensive... I use them to grow wheat grass for my cats... they can
be used and reused over and over.

Is there any lead in them, or anything that could be toxic to birds.

Less likely than in cardboard... most paper products are processed
with some heavy metals. It's pretty easy to test for lead, there are
markers that when applied change color.
