This will be my first winter with chickens. I live in Dallas where we get maybe 2-4 hard freezes a year. I didn't think that it would be an issue for the chickens, but as it's starting to get colder I figured it would be good to get some advice. Will they be okay or should I get some sort of heater? Are there any other precautions I should consider? Their water source is a large rectangular bucket that they can stand in/drink from, so I'm not too concerned about it freezing over and can monitor it if it gets that cold.
