Can you post a picture? Sounds like it might be wry neck and will only get worse until fatal unless you start pushing vitamin e like crazy along with selenium.

Well not one to be able to explain it i guess. I go up to broader and they all look up at me except this it can't raise its neck

When a chick has a neck injury these are the first things I do
Honey sugar water has lots of electrolytes
Green foods in a syringe like spinach baby food or dandelion greens they have a lot of vitamin E
And lots and lots of calories and protein
Most importantly vitamin E and selenium
Hope it recovers soon
Also try to stabilize the neck

Sounds like wry neck, can't really tell from photo. It can be treated with vit E, possibly some B1 or B complex (as there can be a neurological component) and selenium. No need to dose selenium, that can be provided with a little cooked egg or tuna. For the vitamins I use liquid vitamins intended for human use. Once a day, mix the vitamins into a small portion of wet or fermented feed. Not sure what recommended dosage is for chicks...

definitely looks like wry neck. If you use Pinterest, search for chick with wry neck and you will find a ton of info on what causes it and how to treat it naturally or with medications. A big one is some molasses in the water as it’s chocked full of vitamins including selenium, which is needed to process the vitamin e
