⠀ Chick soaking wet

[Dooze]

My two week old EE pullet tipped the waterer on herself and now is shivering like a maniac.

Any ways to heat her up?

When people wash chickens they frequently use hair dryers to dry them off.

I forgot to add: she then rolled in the bedding an is covered everywhere with little pine shavings.

Hair dryer used on a low heat and gently brushing its fluff / feathers with a new clean soft child's tooth brush, to help loosen them.
Then put the chick under a brooder or heat lamp or on a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel and it should be fine.

Hairdryer worked great for drying and blowing out the bedding

thank you!

Great glad to hear it, I've had a few chicks get wet from some incident or another. So I got a method worked out pretty quick to get em dry and warm quickly. It works on adults as well, I had one fall in the horse water butt recently, it was a bit wet n sorry for itself. But it was fine again once it was dry n warm.
