Just woken up here at 2:00 am (half an hour ago) by strange sound coming from the coop. I found my one year old hen sitting on her roost, making strange distress sounds, mouth open, breathing uncomfortably with gurgling sounds. She was fine yesterday, eating and drinking normally. Whole flock recently treated presumptively for worms. Also currently on corid as half the flock had diarrhea, including her. Recently broody and just started laying again. Possible crop issue? I brought her in the house and I looked down her thoat with a flashlight and could not see anything unusual. What can I do for her? I am very worried.
Thanks for any help out there.

Get VetRX from TSC or your other local poultry store. It can help with stuff like what your chicken has. Rub it under your chickens wings and force a few drops of the medicine down her throat. Since it's 8AM here and 2AM there wait until at least 8 or 10 or the earliest you can get it. For now give her some medium temperature water. If you need help with what the medicine looks like I'll attach an image below.

If you don't have VetRX where you live then look for any other respiratory medicines in your local poultry market

Thanks for your reply, We do not have that here. I could get on Amazon, but would take 7-10 days to get here. We do not have any vets who see chickens either. :( I will try the warm water.
 
They carry fish antibiotics that folks use for chickens. Her problem though seems more acute to me. Symptoms came on suddenly.

It maybe from wood chip dust in your coop so you have to separate her from the flock for a while. If you don't have wood chips then the final recommendation I have for you is to mix oil into your water.
