I gave her safeguard, antibiotics, apple cider vinegar. Please help. Gasps for breath, high pitched squeaking noises. I tried to attach a video
 
How old is she? Is she having stridor, a sound that the chicken in the video below is making? Stridor can happen when a small piece of feed or mucus plug gets in the airway. Sometimes it may be from a respiratory infection. Is there any sneezing as well? Have you added any new birds recently? Videos must be uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo or similar site.

It sounds like a sneeze, but kind of different than normal. Do you see any bubbles in either eye or any swelling of the eyelids or nasal drainage? Is she able to eat and drink, and be active? Is she gasping to breathe?

No swelling. Her crop is very similar to sour crop. Liquid noises when I massage. Also, tired getting her to throw up ( I've done it before with several other chickens with good success)
There's poop but she's not eating well.
 
Do not massage a soft and puffy crop. It pushes the liquids back up into the throat and airway. Don’t make them vomit or they can choke. Does she have a bad odor from her beak that could be sour crop? Do your chickens have grit available to them? What do you feed them? Here is a good article on treating crop disorders with miconazole/Monistat and coconut oil:

I ordered nystatin a few days ago. I usually have it on hand. Chickens do have grit and go outside. Feed them pellets. I dont smell anything abnormal
