I used to love Safeguard when I had chickens.Is vet care an option at all?
Where are you located in the world?
Is her crop emptying?
Could be respiratory infection. Depending on where you live, possibly Gapeworm, though it's more rare.
I'd keep on trying to get fluids into her. Do look again inside her beak for obstruction, lesions or canker.
I'd be inclined to treat with an antibiotic and deworm her.
Baytril would be good, if you can't get that, then go with Tylan50. Safeguard Liquid Goat dewormer would be what I'd use for worms.
Oh this is a good point, the air sacs can cause issues if damaged. I had a baby quail hatch with a ruptured air sac last year. Little thing gasped like her. It was such a small newborn baby, it was too weak and didn't make it. An adult hen hopefully would be able to recover but I don't know.Only other thing I can think of, when you are examining her, feel if there's any air bubbles under her skin around the location of her air sacs. A ruptured air sac could cause gasping, exaggerated breathing.
Chickens have 9 air sacs and 2 lungs.
