This is not an idiom. The verb "lay" is the past tense of "lie," and means that whatever or whoever the subject of the sentence may be, they were laying down on top of some hay.
To include an idiom in an example sentence, simply incorporate the idiom naturally into the sentence to convey a figurative meaning. For example, "She had a chip on her shoulder" is an idiom meaning she was easily offended or held a grudge.
An idiom usually is a sentence, or part of one. It certainly can be used as part of a sentence. The way to tell if it's an idiom is if it makes sense the way it's literally written.
The sentence is not, because an idiom is usually a phrase. The idiom is "do lunch," which means to have lunch together, usually while discussing business.
That IS a sentence.
"Throw the book at him" IS a sentence.
