Laying = eggs. Hens lay eggs. Thus, when a hen is laying...you get the gist. Laying can only be used in this context or in the "laying on of hands", "laying of bets", "laying off" or "laying siege" (see here). When you refer to a person or object as "laying on the ground" you are effectively saying they are laying an egg. I'm sure you dont mean to say this, so the word you want is "lying" (and yes, I know it's the same as the one where you tell untruths). Thus, the person/object is lying on the ground. Get it?
Good. Now ya'll can stop driving me crazy
