Do an on site search on wry neck. Vitamin supplementation may cure if the cause is not physical injury.

You may post a video to YouTube with a link posted here. I think that Sourland is right, it may be wry neck, which is a symptom of head injury, vitamin E or thiamine (B1,) and sometimes viruses or other diseases, such as Mareks. Silkies seem prone to wry neck. I would give 400 IU of vitamin E, some vitamin B complex 1/4 tablet or other multivitamin for poultry, and a little selenium found in egg, tuna, and sunflower seed.
