My Chicken pheonix is choking shes opening her mouth breathing and closing one eye... she is swallowing food but breathing wierd threw her throat what do i do?????

Never had this issue but look and see if you can see anything sticking out of her beak. If you can pull on'a piece of string or grass sticking out it could help. If not, try a little bit of olive oil to help it go down. Use an eye dropper or spoon, maybe a tablespoons worth.

Good luck.

Did you look to see if she has something lodged in her throat? Or swab her throat with a q-tip to check for Gapeworm? There is a lot of helpful information in this post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/328429/help-gasping-hen

Can you see the little hole at the end of her tongue? Look at the 3rd picture in this link:

If you can't see the hole at the back of her tongue it means that something is blocking it. Look very closely...

It's much smaller on a chicken.

Can you take a picture of the inside of her mouth and post it?
