First Broody Hen in Winter??

I don't know for sure but I know they're able to regulate they're body temps by flapping they're wings. At least I think I read that somewhere. I actually dried one off with a hair dryer. Don't know if thats a good idea but it worked.

I have read that some chickens love that

Is their underfluff wet, or just their top feathers? Skin-damp is a lot worse than feather damp.

You can dry a chicken with a hair-dryer (my rooster nearly melted in my lap when I did this) That said, you may blow out your hair dryer on three chickens. It took me an hour to dry Chester off thoroughly. Looked good a week later--no ruffled feathers, everything was shiny and his skin wasn't dry--so I counted it a success and an "I would do this again")

I've also buried wet chickens in hay. They seemed to come out alright.

I dont have electricity nr the coop plus it was nearly dark by then
