There could be a few reasons why your chicken has ruffled feathers.
It could have just been "bothered" by a rooster and hasn't done it's feather care yet. They usually shake and preen for a bit after to put things back into place.
The chicken could be sick and one of the first signs is lack of sheen and feather placement. The same way people often look sick, so do chickens.
Try a Tonic in their water, this adds any missing vitamins and helps feather them out.
Your hen could be going into molt. This is natural and is a replacement time for the chickens feathers, they do this once per year.
