Chick can't get off of it's back?

[TheOgdensmenagerie]

Hello,
I received my chicks 3 days ago and there has been 2 chicks now that have fallen on their backs and could not get back up themselves. Once I up right them they are fine running all over and haven't landed on their backs again. Just coincidence? Or beginning of a problem?

I'm thinking coincidental...

Keep an eye on them and hopefully it doesn't happen again. What breed are they?

One is a Prairie Bluebell the other was Americana. They are both running around like crazy, no pasty butts or anything. I out some more Probiotic/Electrolyte water in the brooder just in case.
