I brought home a new chick tonight..I don't have any pics because I don't want to stress him any further yet.
What has me freaked out is the way he's sleeping.
The rest of my chicks sleep like..uh..'proper' chickens (or, in what I presume is the proper sleeping position for a chicken)..upright, compact..
When I sleep, I have a tendency to sprawl out on my stomach, head turned to the side, arms and legs flopped around wherever..and that is the only way I can describe the way this chick is sleeping--exactly like me.
Is that normal?! I kind of assumed that there was a standard position for chickens to sleep in. Aside from this, he seems perfectly healthy and normal..his legs are fine, he walks, balances, flaps his wings, etc...
Am I being ridiculously paranoid? I thought he was dead when I checked on him the first few times. :faint:
