Why are my quail chicks doing this?

[Cherlyn]

I have two coturnix and two button quail in the brooder together. All are five days old. The two buttons keep pushing the two coturnix UP so they can sit/stand underneath their bodies.

Brooder temp is 90. Thoughts? They sure look cute doing it.

I think it is just natural for them to crawl under a larger bird, just like mommy.

I think you are right. They look so silly.

That's kinda cute! Do the coturnix stand for it? Can you get a pic?
