Much more info needed.
Did you try to pick her up? My birds dustbathe daily and just lay there in weird contortions looking lame.

How hot is it there, how old is your chicken, and are you sure she laid today?

 

[stoopid]

You say she laid an egg, did you check her butt to make sure she is not prolapsed?
If anything looks red and nasty, get back to us pronto.
