I just got home a couple minutes ago and I noticed one of my chickens was acting weird she sounds like she’s in pain or can’t breath it’s like a gurgling sound and I don’t know what to do ,she wasn’t like this when I took her out of her coop.I really need advice on what I can do I’m about to enter work in an hour.

here’s a video !

Is she moving about? Eating, drinking, pooping, pecking at the ground? Are her comb and wattles pale?

Assuming everything else checks out, I saw @Eggcessive mention something the other day about a temporary gurgle that should clear up in a day or two.

Please let us know if she's having additional symptoms.

she was moving around when I had posted about her, now she didn’t want to get out of her coop and is still making those gurgling sounds.Her comb and wattles are both red as usual, she was pecking on the ground yesterday night but when she kinda turns her neck she starts gurgling even louder if that makes sense.I haven’t seen her eat as of yesterday night because I left to work and I just got home a couple minutes ago but I’ll be sure to keep an eye on her,Hopefully it goes away soon and is there anything I can give her in the meantime ?

I just uploaded a video of her yesterday around 8:40
 
To me (and I'm nowhere near a medical expert), she doesn't look to be in respiratory distress. I would leave her be and check on her after work. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will have some advice for you by then.
 
While we wait for experts to help you, have you felt her crop? How does it feel, squishy, hard, full, empty? Have you tried to look in her mouth for lesions or something caught in her throat?
Is there any discharge from her eyes or nares?

Yes I felt her crop it fells squishy like if it was just water
,I did open her mouth and there isn’t anything in there so I have no idea what it could be

Does her mouth emit a foul smelling odor? If so, it could be sour crop. Have a look at the following article on crop issues and see what symptoms best fit your circumstances and treat accordingly. Let us know how she progresses.

It’s definitely sour crop,one of her eyes are like swollen and has mucus coming out of it along with her nostrils,she still kinda active it’s just her breathing is making alot of gurgle noises

What you describe sounds to be more respiratory with the mucus in her eyes and nares plus the breathing issues. Are any of your others presenting with symptoms?

I'm tagging the experts for you to help with this.
