Most often due to lice or mites on them. Seen quite a bit on silkies with very large crests just so they are able to see too. Can be due to neurological damage from a blow to the head. First check for bugs and treat if necessary, trim crest if they are having vision problems, and look up crookneck/cerebral hernia if you think it may be neurological.

I'll have to get a video and post it. She's only 7 wks so her feather aren't even in her eyes. And I checked her the other day for any bugs and couldn't find a single one or trace thereof.
