Chick tilts head WAY, WAY back after drinking

[hhave]

We have a 4 or 5 day old Buff Orpington chick who after drinking tilts her head WAY back, so much that she nearly falls over backward. This is not the typical head tilt to swallow the water. I've never seen a chick tilt around like this before. Is she okay? Seems to be eating fine and drinking fine other than the tilt back. She also seems to have somewhat thin feathers coming in, but I think this my be normal. Ideas... Thoughts?

Sorry i have no idea.Hope she will be okay.

I will keep her in my prayers.

She looks like she has wry neck started. You are going to have to put her on some vitamins.

I agree with CMV.
