Found chick next to nest - thought was dead but started moving

[Nestew]

Is your suggestion to get the chick back out to her as soon as dry or to take it back out now even though not fully dry yet?

I have a similar set up, and i just slip them back under the mother. The chick may have hatched at night and the mother couldnt see it, combine with cold weather may have been almost fatal. Eeither way it was very freshly hatched. I dont use incubators, but i keep brood sizes of one or two eggs to avoid these types of problems. Seems like a lot of extra work to use an incubator, so definitely put her back under the mother but hopefully she hasnt forgotten her already.
