Chicken throwing up mystriuos clear wattery fluid

Give her some calcium to help firm up her eggs. A 1/4 of a human calcium tablet or Tums crushed in her food, or finely chopped egg shell will work. She may have an internal laying problem common in a lot of chickens. Check her crop each morning to make sure it is emptying overnight. If it seems puffy, massage her crop several times a day to help move it along. Is her crop empty, full, hard, or puffy? If her lower abdomen is puffy or tight, she could have ascites. That can cause labored breathing. Laying problems can be a result of a defective shell gland or other reproductive problems. Giving calcium may not help make shells stronger in every case. Soft eggs that break inside can be a setup for egg yolk peritonitis, very common unfortunately. Here are some articles to read:
