Baby Budgie Worries

So my budgie had babies and they hatched around 2 weeks ago, they all seem pretty healthy, waddling around already and lifting their own heads.
My concern is the oldest one, I believe I've seen him lift his head and such before but am now unsure.
When we handle him, he walks a bit but his body is low to the ground so his head sorta drags on the floor. He often just cuddles up into our hand and lays there, either just looking at us or going to nap; He doesn't cry for his mom like the other 2.
I'm wondering if this is normal behavior and we just happen to catch him when he's tired, or if this could be a health concern?

Update: the baby is fine, we just kept catching him when he was tired, they walk around normally, and are quite the cuddly adventurers
