Probably wouldn't hurt to give her some, and just check her a couple times or more today to make sure you don't see anymore.

ok! off to get a blowdryer- is there any brand that is quiet?

Quiet doesn't matter. Neither does brand of shampoo. We had a cockeral in the house last Winter. He was strawberry fresh and enjoyed being blown dry.
If you have a spot inside (temporary nest), hang a heat lamp over it and move the eggs there. The hen may need help drying her under-fluff. Chickens stay damp a long time. If your morning is cold like mine here, the eggs will do better unattended at 65 degrees inside versus 30 degrees outside.
Oh, and a heating pad in your lap covered with a dry towel makes a warm incentive to sit still. Hope this helps.
