So, this is my first post so I hope I didn't do it wrong. Recently I noticed that we had a hen end up sick, she decided the best place to rest was in a pile of black and red ants. Who took the chance to rlly bite her up bad, I used some vet spray since we don't have much else to do. I was curious about something, currently I have a wet towel on her that we used to dry her off once we washed the ants off. Should I keep the wet towel or give her a dry one? We're in AZ So the temperature isn't too cold tonight.
 
Don't leave a wet towel on chicken. Check her skin for all the ant bites. Then use neosporin on her skin. Reapply the following day.
 
Keep her dry and let her sleep by herself in a quiet corner in your house. Make sure she is eating and drinking the next day.
