This chick sleeps standing up. It has already recovered from splayed legs. It is about 1 day old.

Is this normal if not what should I do?
 
Mine seemed to do that for the first couple of weeks. As they get older (they're between 4 an 5 weeks now) they seem to do it less and less. About 25% of the time on their roost and 75% of the time hunkered down in the pine.
 
All of my little chick's have done it some with comical flare. I keep on try to catch them at the sleeping dance but always manage to miss it. Needless to say it is quite funny to watch them nod and sway till they either fall over or lay down.
