Not sure if this the right forum... temp acclimating question...

[BekahsChicks]

Regarding temp acclimation I've had my hen in my bathroom for the last 2.5 days getting some extra tlc, I feel she's ready to rejoin the flock but I worry she's gotten used to 60ish temps. It's in the mid to high 40s today and no freezing expected over night for at least the next week... right now I have her back in the mud room as it's not temp controlled but due to sun in the windows it is probably in the 50s.. should I leave her in the mid room today/tonight then let her rejoin the flock tomorrow or do you think she can go out today...

She can go back out....She had all the feathers a week ago to with stand her conditions....

Watch though, the others might attack her being she was gone for a week....Pecking order is strong in Chickens...

Ya she's about 18 mths old was just worried about the quick change in temp.. we ended up putting her out in the "baby/newbie" run and they all came and visited through the fence for a few minutes then continued on to their favorite foraging spot and she just went about her merry way enjoying all the collard greens/scratch/boiled egg buffet that I set in front of her lol so far so good!
