I would isolate her immediately, and bring her inside. Make sure to offer her water, and some non-medicated crumbles if you have them. I'd see if she'd also eat some crumbled egg yolk.


Could just be that she's overheated, I had that yesterday with a duck.
 
maybe you could try putting a frozen water bottle near her. see if maybe she is over heated. I would also make sure to offer her some nice ice cold water to try and cool down. I know in this heat I have had to offer my chickens and peacocks lots of fresh ice cold water several times a day.
