8 year old hen with sour crop? I need help treating it.

She almost aspirated a few minutes ago, her beak was all covered in mucus.
What do I do? I want to make sure she doesn't possibly "dry drown" if that's possible with how much she might have breathed in.
 
The rooster hopped on her when she was already low against the ground, so I think he made it a little worse.
She is breathing alright right now and is standing.
I feel like her feet looked and still look a little purple.

She's just sleeping right now.
 
I had my sister watch her while I ate.
She is laying down right now I am making sure she doesn't rest her head to low.

Is there any way to make sure she doesn't put her head to low without watching her for a long time?
I don't know what to do, I don't want to lose her she is such a good chicken. I don't want her to be in pain or uncomfortable either.

What is the easiest way to euthanize a chicken with limited prep time? I just want to make sure I am prepared to put her down if she gets to far gone. And if she starts aspirating really bad is there something or a way that I should do or end it quicker.

Thank you for any help that has been given.
I hope she can get better I really do, maybe it was a good thing that she lost the liquid in her crop like that maybe she will get better faster with less stuff in her crop.

I am just worried that it will happen again, even the chances of her aspirating are more likely lower now that she has less fluid in her crop.
 
She is feeling better, I let her take three gulps of water just now and took the water away, should I offer any food? And should I give her some more coconut oil?
I am going to keep her separated tonight I think, I almost feel like she will be a lot better now after the incident that took place about thirties minutes ago now.
Her comb looks quit dark still, but she is making hen sounds here and there she has a bit of a gurgle sound in some ways when she makes sound.
I think she might be a little hungry.
