Looks like your chicken it just trying to cool off. I wouldn't worry if she is walking fine,eating and drinking. Keep an eye on her poops. Also when was the last time you dewormed your flock?
 
Ah I see. That's not too bad!

Chickens laying on their side can be quite normal. They do it to sun bathe, dust bathe, cool off, etc.:)

Is this something she has always done or just recently?

She does this a lot but then she gets up like when she was four or three weeks old she was lying on side kicking her legs up looking like she having a hard time to get up but then she gets up and is fine it always make me feel freaked out but then relief

I'd say seperate her and give her a full inspection. Could be early signs of paralysis etc.. in the pic you put the eye looks a bit odd. Can you send a pic of her eyes? Thanks.
