Help!! chick walking backward with head down!

Okay researched foods high in selenium and found a top ten list. What is interesting is that eggs are on that list, which she is already getting. I think maybe I'll unsalted sunflower seeds and cooked rice (white/whole grain?). I've got some canned white meat chicken - should I try that? Think I'll avoid the onions! Any feedback on that?
1. Brazil Nuts
2. Sunflower Seeds
3. Fish (tuna, halibut, sardines, flounder, salmon)
4. Shellfish (oysters, mussels, shrimp, clams, scallops)
5. Meat (Beef, liver, lamb, pork)
6. Poultry (chicken, turkey)
7. Eggs
8. Mushrooms (button, crimini, shiitake)
9. Grains (wheat germ, barley, brown rice, oats)
10. Onions

The responses I'm getting from all of you is really awesome. My faith in the forum is fully restored!! :)

These all sound like good, healthy treats for your chick. Chickens are omnivores, so they eat pretty much everything. Not that everything is good for them, however. Do NOT give her mushrooms or onions. Just remember moderation. Little bits at a time. Try a few of the above items and see if she likes them. Then you'll know what to stick with.
Here is a list of foods to avoid:
Common Foods and Plants Toxic to Chickens
raw beans of any kind. Cook beans a minimum of 15 minutes. Then they are safe for chickens to eat.
raw potatoes and peels
avocado
citrus fruits
rhubarb leaves
chocolate/caffeine
apple seeds
onions
garlic
mushrooms
alcohol
potato, eggplant, and tomato plants/leaves
salt
mistletoe or holly berries
nutmeg
sweet pea plant
tobacco
stone fruit pits
asparagus
