I have 1 week old baby Sebs. Do they need grit in their diet?

Yes they should have some if they are going to eat anything other than milled feed. I would start them out with a small amount (no more than 1/2 teaspoon per bird) they can have more later if they want, The grit performs the function of teeth, it is retained in the gizzard and is used to grind up their food before it enters the gut.
