Closed eyes, Beak upwards, and Small "Quack" sounds when sleeping

Hello everyone, one of my chickens is acting strange from the last month or more. She doesn't look sick or slow so I was not concerned at first, but now its too much time for it. When she walks or eats she is fine, but when she sleeps or is standing doing nothing she closes her eyes, turns her beak upwards and makes this small "Quack" sound every often. Is it some disease or sign or her developing some disease, if anyone knows something please share, thankyou.

Are her feathers poofed out? Does she have any fluid coming from her nose? Are the lids of her eyes more red or swollen looking? Are there any other symptoms? Is her beak open when she makes the quacking sound? Have you quarantined her?

No idea then but at least quarantine her until you can find an answer.
