sleepy chicks?

[Roosteroops]

I have 3 8 to 18 hour old chicks in the incubator. They are drying nicely and chirping every now and then. But is it normal for them to lay down a lot and sleep? For example, they will struggle to move around all the other eggs in the bator then suddenly plop over and sleep. Normal?

Yes, they act like they have narcolepsy! They are really funny to watch run around then suddenly drop off to sleep in a matter of seconds!
