Vitamin therapy.
Get some b complex tablets and an oral syringe from the drug store and give her 1/3 of a tablet every day for a few weeks.
Grind the tablet up and mix with a little water.

You should also give some vitamin E with a tiny bit of selenium (helps with the uptake of the e).

Thank you, what are her chances? Any idea? Should I feed her some olive oil? That’s all I have that has high vitamin E

If you can get some vitamin E capsules, human ones are fine, you can prick the capsule and give her the oil from that. They really need the full strength, concentrated form to get their levels up.
If it's caused by vitamin deficiency, which is not uncommon, there is a good chance for it to recover. There are other possible causes which don't really have remedies. It if were something developmental or from being malpositioned in the egg, then those are different issues. It may also have splay leg or spraddle leg, I can't really tell. From the way it's laying it could be that or just be laying like that due to the wry neck. Splay leg in chicks can sometimes be caused by issues in incubation. If it's unable to get it's legs together to stand you may need to put it in a chick chair while treating, and when you can determine if it's splay leg as well, then it will need hobbles until that resolves. You will also likely need to help it eat and drink, until it can do so on it's own. It will be good for abt. 3 days on the yolk it absorbed, then it will need to be eating and drinking.

It was able to stand yesterday, but overnight the wry neck got worse, any way to tell what the cause is? Less than a day old chick
She wasn’t malpositioned
