One of my Silkie pullets had the same problem a few months ago. There seem to be several things thought to cause this, but the most common thinking appears to be a blow on the head; Silkies being more prone to this because of their vaulted skulls and little protection for the brain.
It is usually recommended to isolate them from the flock, but this can be upsetting to them. This little girl wasn't being picked on, so I left her with the rest. In fact, the Alpha cockerel seemed to be very concerned about her. She was really bad off to begin with, so I didn't have much hope. Her head was down under her breast and twisted completely around so that her eyes were looking skyward. The very first, slight sign I'd noticed and shrugged off was that her head seemed to be sort of tucked down toward her neck. I'd read about Vitamin E being helpful, so I squeezed the contents of one capsule into her beak twice daily for a week or so. I've since read to give them Polyvisol without iron as well as the Vitamin E. I also force fed her moistened feed twice a day for around a week. As she began to improve, I stopped the force feeding, but carefully straightened her head, placed her beak in the feed tray, and she ate hungrily. I knew she was drinking because her entire head and neck would be soaking wet several times a day. She mostly moved around backwards. She continued to improve, so I left off the Vitamin E. She's done quite well since then, and sometimes I'm not sure which of the two blues she is. She does occasionally look like her beak is sort of tucking into her neck, but she hasn't had any more problems. If I had it to do over again, I'd get the Polyvisol also, but I didn't know about it at the time.
