Help, baby chicken bends its head to it's back!

[FrostyWind]

Hello Good Day,
My new baby chicken that hatched a few days ago is killing me because of how he/she drinks water.
Never seen this happen to a chick, we'll only when they're dying but he's fine and normal, tho he Occasionally roles when his head goes to far back. He's been doing that since a day after he hatched.
After he finishes water, he's normal as of nothing happened and goes back foraging and eating his food with his siblings.
Here's some pictures of him today:

Okay, assuming nothing's wrong with a little fella, that has to be one of the cutest things I've seen recently.

That looks a lot like skygazing, a neurological condition caused by vitamin deficiency. Try supplementing thiamine (or just plain old vitamin B complex, added to the water, ongoing treatment), vitamin e (300 iu, once) and selenium (tiny, tiny bit).

This thread may be helpful - see @Eggcessive's post (#7), in particular. Poultry Nutri-Drench contains all 3 (thiamine, vitamin E, selenium) and is easily assimilated by poultry. I keep it on hand and all newly-hatched chicks start out with a bit in their water to help ensure a good start. Best of luck!!

Stargazing is a common form of wry neck and can be a sign of thiamine (vitamin B 1) or vitamin E deficiency. Use a few drops of Poultry NutriDrench, Poultry Cell, or Polyvisol without Iron baby vitamins daily until the chick improves. Make sure it is getting enough to eat and drink, and feed it with a dropper if necessary.

Give it vitamin e . It has two names wry neck and stargazing. But we have had a baby with it before. Remember to be patient as it is not a fast cure and never set her near water she will drowned. Give her a couple of drops every 4 hours she will improve.

I see, the problem is? I don't know where to get those? Can the ones us humans use be given to chickens?
Also is the condition tho?
I mean even tho he does that only when drinking water, his crop gets fat when he's drinking and eating, fat just like his other siblings? Or will it get worst?
What if I can't get selenium? Can I just vitamin E? Or he needs both?
Really want him/her alive since he looks like he's a cross between a normal yard chicken and a silkie fowl? I bred his Mother with a male silkie fowl

Agreed. Skygazing, I've also heard it called Stargazing.

You can use vitamins made for human use.

It will likely get worse without treatment, to the point where he cannot walk or eat/drink.

Selenium is in tuna and eggs. You can feed him a tiny bit of those along with vitamin E and B complex. I chose liquid vitamins to make it easy, just add a little to his food.
