Sick chicken

Fine..Then you will have a bird with stomach upset on top of the current issue.

No. I've been doing this for 38 years and know what I'm talking about.
If I can help you with anything, let me know.

You didnt mention if she was eating or drinking. If she's not eating or drinking, you can give her a couple drops of Poultry Nutri drench orally via eyedropper. Pull her wattles down and put one drop in her mouth and quickly release the wattles so she can swallow the liquid on her own.

I just tried to give her some warm water she won't swallow it I don't know what else to do

Leave her alone to rest and try putting water close to her..Don't bother her.

How do I open her mouth without hurting her I am not sure but her beak might have foster bit

Is she warm yet? She needs to be warm before you mess with her. Can you post some pictures of her?

Your hens health will decline without some type of nutrients/hydration. If you cant get the Nutri Drench, at the very least try giving her sugar water via eyedropper or a syringe without a needle. A few drops at a time on the side of her the beak at a time, or gently pull her wattles down and put a few drops in her mouth, then quickly release the wattles. Good luck.

Aspiration on weak animals is common..Rest and time is what is needed..

Not if the wattles are released quickly, then the bird swallows on her own. If the individual continues to hold the wattles, then yes, aspiration is entirely possible.

I've wormed birds orally on death's door in this manner and have never lost a bird due to aspirating.

I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you the best.
