I don't think hens have a diaphragm so it can't be hiccups - least of all for 2 weeks. Is her face puffed up? Eyes bubbly? Does she have a temperature? - if not sure feel under her wing and then compare to one of the others. What colour and condition is her comb in? is she hunched up? Wings in normal position or down? is she eating and drinking normally?
Staffies are softer than you think.

Could it be a response to gape worm? alternatively, stop giving her alcohol :D
