Is she sneezing or coughing or acting lethargic? If not, this is likely a simple eye infection. Flush the eye liberally with saline eye wash. Or make your own solution from the many recipes online.

Then put an antibiotic eye ointment in the eye twice a day until it clears up. You can use Neosporin or better, get Terramycin eye ointment from any feed store.

I don't see any sneezing but i see her sticking her head in other chicken's feathers
 
They stick their head under another chicken's feathers to comfort themselves. It's a holdover instinct from chick-hood. Her eye likely is causing her a lot of discomfort.
