heavy rain wet chicken should I blowdry?

[GoldenSparrow]

It rained very hard here all day my chickens had shelter, but most of them are very wet. especially my rooster. hes molting so his neck feathers are not that stong.
I dident really want to blow dry him, hes very mean and bits, but I dont want him to catch a cold or get sick.
I dryed him off with a towel, but it did not do much.

I just put the chickens to bed, but should I blow dry the really wet ones?

can a chicken get sick from being wet?

thanks

I blow dry my chickens after i bath them.
They actually like the warmth of the drier.
I would imagine if you leave them wet they could easily get very cold and depending on where you live, you risk hypothermia.
If you are in a area that isn't that cold then i wouldn't worry about it, they will just take longer to dry.

Thank you, I blow dryed my rooster. the others were not as wet.

He did like it.
