Looks like wry neck, maybe? Or what they call “stargazing”. I believe it’s caused by a lack of vitamin B or E.

I’m not able to tag for some reason but hopefully someone will help you out soon!

There was a vitamin deficiency in the egg.. not enough to end the life, but enough for it to hatch stargazing.

With vitamin treatment (poultry nutridrench), I have had chick hatchlings recover within the day! Whatever supplement you have access to or use, B1 is crucial in my experience.

Okay thanks
 
Wry neck can be from a vitamin deficiency or head injury in young ones. Usual treatment is giving human vitamin E 400 IU and a 1/4 tablet or 1/4 ml of human or animal B complex daily. A bit of scrambled egg for selenium is also helpful.
