Wry Neck! Give her egg for protein!

It sounds like wry neck symptoms which can be due to heredity, vitamin deficiency, or head injuries. That causes running backwards or in circles, and can cause a twisted neck or start gazing.I would start some vitamins including thiamine (B1) and vitamin E. Cooked egg can add selenium which helps with vitamin E uptake. Some vitamins such as Poultry NutriDrench and Poultry Cell have all 3, but it may require a little more vitamin E, such as 400micrograms a day.

I agree it is wry neck. Did you figure out how much vitamin to give the chick? How is she doing?

The NutriDrench is 1 ml for every 3 pounds daily. The vitamin E is 400 micrograms daily. You probably will not see immediate results, but hopefully soon. Not all chicks get better. Just to familiarize you with wry neck, here is some reading:
