Please tell me what to do!
My dear, sweet, loveable, three year-old left the door to the garage to get into the brooder open and one of our puppies had a hay day playing with my chickies! They are all somewhat wet from either the water that was spilled in the process of her getting into the brooder or her slobber from picking them up. All of them seem fine, if not a little traumatized.
I know this is a totally rookie mistake (my first flock) but I need help knowing what to do with them now. I think that the one I found outside of the brooder (who is the most wet) may have a hurt leg. When I picked her up she was holding her leg funny. But when I put her in the brooder she walked fine. Should I worry about drying them? Or will they dry out from the heat of the brooder lamp?
I really don't know what to do...
Here is a picture of the most wet one and some of her gal pals:
