Chicken accidentlly out all night in cold

Last night one of my four month old chickens was left out all night in the cold, got Down to 10 degrees. Put her back in and turned. Heat lamp on. Should I be very worried??

Chickens are tougher than we think. Just keep an eye on her and make sure she's eating and drinking okay for the next day or two.

I wouldn't be too worried. once i accidentally left a bird outdoors. It looked like death was near. A few days after he was as good as new. As sjisty said, make sure it is eating right.

My husband says she's favoring one foot, I'm concerned about possible frostbite. We still have the light on to help her stay warmer thru tonight but how can i help her if she continues to favor her foot??

Go to your vet and ask for FRP (Frost Repellant Paste) If it is frostbite that should cure it, it is an all natural paste (Sounds wierd) but it should help.
