Care of coop

Just had a huge rain and the straw in the cop is wet. Also hen is molting. Ok to continue to layer or must remove all straw?

Fix the leak, then replace any wet straw with dry straw.
 
The biggest enemy in a chicken coop is moisture - it increases odor, it mobilizes ammonia, it increases humidity (which causes other issues), etc - keeping the bedding dry is goal number one.
 
I am weathrr proofing the coop from the sudden weather changes and downpours. Thank you
