I know chickens can’t vomit but my chicken ate too much and her neck kept jerking and opening her mouth to breathe I thought maybe she’s chocking I massaged her crop a bit then food came out a while later what should I do she keeps jerking her neck?? Her crop isn’t full
 
Did it looks like she was gasping for air? If so that’s how they adjust their crop. She threw up because you put pressure on her crop which will in most cases result in the chicken throwing up. Making them to throw up can make them aspirate.
 
She’s fine now! I did give her one more massage before I read this (honestly it was more of a very slight rub because I was scared of causing her to aspirate) but then I let her get the rest out her self after she got it out she was ok!
She might have something caught in her throat, don't massage her neck.
Its something she has to do herself.

She’s fine now! She was opening her mouth to try and breathe (before I massaged her) I massaged very lightly to help her get it out but I didn’t do it for very long (didn’t do the whole turning her on the side thing) and it did help a bit but I didn’t do it a lot since I was worried about her aspirating and she did keep vomiting a while after I “massaged” it tho. But what’s the correct course of action in this situation though because I keep seeing mixed answers online?
