Whole lotta shaking going on ....can anyone help me?

[Bewellchicky78]

I think something might be on her throat ... Last night she was shaking her head like crazy. Throughout the night and today she keeps doing it. My little chicken is not eating nor drinking today . She also opens her beak like she wants to throw up but from my surfing , I understand they can't throw up ...
I tried a little oil and water but I just made a mess of things , ended up all over her head instead of down her throat .
I'm super worried .... Please help .

Sorry for the problem. Have you looked down her throat with a flashlight? It will take someone to hold her while you do this.
Have you gently palpated her throat to see if you can feel anything?

Thank you for responding. Yes I've rubbed her neck softly in a downward motion .... I couldn't feel anything , however she would do the same thing act like she was going to throw up and at times let out a pretty loud noise. Followed by shaking shaking her head. I haven't used a flashlight as of yet I'll do that right now.

you can put a little chunk of frozen coconut oil in her beak. i hope she’s ok. how does her crop feel? Is it full and squishy? Is it full and hard? Is it empty? Can you smell her breath? Is it bad?

I didn't see anything , however there was a bunch of mucus, in her mouth. I'm sure this is her body trying to help get the
