Isolating Injured Chicken in Cold Weather

[Jaebird]

I have a chicken recovering from a dog attack, and the vet said to keep her separated from the rest of the flock (which is actually just two other chickens) for a couple of weeks while her wound heals. I've got just a small backyard coop and run, and it's down in the 20s at night here (actually the thermometer read 12 this morning). I'm not sure how to separate her while still keeping her warm. Would love any suggestions!

Could you bring her inside or in a garage? If you have a dog kennel that would be a good way to contain her.

I need to get a dog kennel, it seems like having that for situations like this is basic equipment. I'm just reconciling myself to having her indoors, as I think the garage will still be really cold. There's no free bathroom and not much space in the basement, so I'm afraid she'll need to be in the living room!
