If it is any help to you, I've had my girls for a few years and I've had so many weird little bouts, some I never get diagnosed, that the chickens have bounced back from with supportive care and time. You can gently massage her throat and make sure you don't feel anything weird stuck in there. Breathe deep and have faith. If I have ANY regrets from my early run-ins with illness, it's that I was too eager and overzealous to intervene. Keeping them safe and warm and monitoring what their body is telling them to do goes a long way. If you think she's clocking 24 hrs or more without water, I'd do a little karo syrup and see if she perks up at all...
all the best to you and your chicken!
