ormal coturnix behavior?

[eHuman]

(Normal*)

I have noticed that during the daytime my 1.5 week old cots will lay down to nap often in a big tangled mess, but they ALL sleep standing at night time.

Is this odd or normal?

No wonder they sleep 1/2 the day, they're tired from standing around all night.

It seems normal that the lay with their feet off to the side. I suspect this is normal sleep when they are growing. It almost looks so awkward that they might be sick but they aren't. A chick's got to stretch her legs sometime

That is what they do by day, at night they sleep standing up. Very odd.
