Wet and Cold Chicken

[LJ33]

I have an auto door closer for the coop. I was late from work and one chicken didn't make it in. Its been raining and 40 degrees. She is soaked (even tho she has plenty of shelter she could have stayed under and not in the middle of the rain). I got her in the coop and on the roost.

Im thinking of bringing her in the house for a bit to warm her up and dry her. Or am I over reacting?

I would bring her in and dry her.

On low.

High heat is to hot for them.

Gotta love a problem child.

She isn't horribly wet in the pics.

I agree.

Couple minutes with the dryer (on low ) should get her all dried off and then she can go back out with her friends.

Yeah I think I thought she was more wet until I got her inside. I wiped a lot off with the towel. the heat blows the most in my small bathroom, so right now she is staring at her self in the mirror. I'll do a couple minutes on the blow dryer and get her back to bed.
