It sounds like maybe sour crop? I had a chicken with this and her symptoms were similar to what you describe. It results is aspiration of liquids. Sour crop is a result of infection - bacterial or fungal from what I've learned. If it's sour crop, the crop needs to be emptied and she will need medicine, I think. I can tell you what I did for my hen if you want to message me. I'm reticent to give amateur vet advice in a post.... But what I did worked for my hen. Btw, chickens can't vomit on their own.

I appreciate it but she's barely breathing. Thank you for the offer though. Her name is Phoenix so maybe she'll just snap out of it and rise up, but it's looking very grim right now.

Ok so by some miracle she's still breathing. It's been almost 3 hrs since I found her this way. Do yall think I should attempt some fluids??
