Don't stress, I suggest, I know that's easier said than done. But your stress affects the animal. You're doing the best you can, I'm sure, that's all anyone can do and sometimes that doesn't work out, but a bit of fluid in the lungs isn't always fatal.

There's nothing much you can do except keep her warm and don't stress her (as much as possible anyway).

Adding stuff like raw garlic or leek, slippery elm bark powder or onion to the feed can help clear and disinfect the mucosal membranes but whether or not the chook recovers depends on a lot of things.

I accidentally got some fluids into a chook's airways too once, many years ago, she looked quite dire for a bit, but she recovered in a few hours and still lives with me.

Best wishes.
