I would try some poultry vitamins and electrolytes, such as SaveAChick or a tonic such as Poultry Cell. She could be dehydrated or have some neurological problem. Make sure that it is eating and drinking, or feed it with a dropper. An injury to her wings could also be a possibility. How old is it?

She was a Dy old in that photo, she is now a week and a day old, and sh still has the same problem, otherwise she acts like a normal chick

I think that she will be alright as she is, she is like a normal chick otherwise.
We have named her Cara.

She's darling, she will probably need extra predator protection ( no free ranging) because I would imagine she can't fly.

It's hard to tell from the pic but do her wings look like this?

If so this guy's wings seemed twisted...tried vitamins and even vet wrap to hold them in position for a few days. Didn't work but I maybe didn't keep them taped long enough. This is him today.

His primary flight feathers are still in wrong position most of the time but it doesn't affect him.
