I cannot help with your problem, but don't give your bird an aspirin down it's throat. You can dissolve 1 aspirin in 1 gallon of water and use that as her water.

in a case like this the best advice I can give you is to take to a vet ASAP

do you realize how much they would charge for a chicken?

An emergency vet or regular vet will probally run you 75-150 depending on the area. Then any medications will prob be another 25-50 or more. If you don't want to pay that for a hen that probally cost $3 bucks, I don't blame you. If it was mine I would just put it down if it wasn't showing any signs of improvement.
