I couldn't really tell which one it was but I agree the younger ones should be separate from the older ones and it could have gotten pecked on the head and can cause brain damage which can show up as wry neck. I have treated mine with Poly-vi-sol and additional vitamin E. How old is the chick?

The chick is 2 days old as of now
 
The chicks head isn't twisted or anything like that but she just can't hold her head up or look up like the others.

It could be something that happened during development in the egg - but I'm going with wry neck. May not be that severe so if you separate it and give it extra tlc it may pull out of it.

I checked in on the little one this morning and he seemed to be trying to walk around a bit then resting. It could be he is just weaker than the rest. Has he been eating and drinking for you? I would still continue with the added vitamins to see if it helps get him stronger.
