Horrible chicken Mom here!
Yesterday we noticed our girl was limping. I wanted to give her a big dose of vitamins. Just as I was about to squirt a drip in her mouth, she moved, I slipped and I squirted the whole syringe down her throat. She started the gang and choke. Now she's got her mouth open and she's sounds very raspy. We have her in a quiet place and she did eat some. She doesnt appeared stressed. I feel absolutely awful .On the other hand I don't think she's limping anymore .Any suggestions what more I can do? Worried about her.
 
Can you get a video of her? Upload to youtube and provide a link.

It seems like she aspirated the liquid, if it's not resolved in a day, then I would worry about aspiration pneumonia. You can try an antibiotic to see if that helps.
Amoxicillin may be a good choice, but I think @casportpony might would suggest Baytril which is a very good antibiotic, but it's not approved for use in poultry.

Either one can be ordered online.
