Worried about chicken

Hello

I have a 20 week old faverolles chicken who has been fine all day - her normal self eating and drinking.

She always goes to bed at night and put herself in her coop but tonight my son went out and she was lying on the ground in the garden making a low clucking noise.

I picked her up and she seemed fine and she's gone in her coop and the other chick went in of her own accord. Had a good look in the coop and can't see any evidence of mites or anything but I'm worried about her. She is DS's chicken and he had one die of a heart attack not long ago so he would be heartbroken if she died. I'm so worried about her. Is she sick? Or could she be about to lay an egg? Terrified I'm going to wake up to a dead girlie in the morning :(
