Strange chick behavior - Should I be concerned?

Is it also normal that they seem to only nap for ten - fifteen minutes at a time?

Yep - the are a lot like human infants - lots of short sleeps, wake to a burst of energy, eat, poop, fall asleep (I love watching them start to fall asleep standing up - their little heads drifting down and then finally just falling over) -- lather, rinse, repeat.

Ok, that's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure.

It's just stretching.

Wait until they get out in the sun and the dirt and start sunbathing and dust bathing! You'll think they're having seizures or something, they flop around and kick their legs and flap their wings....I wish I had a video of my girls doing spa time....

Very normal as they are only charging the batteries
