They have a covered run that has plastic around it (except at the top for ventilation of course) and the coop is 2x bigger than what they need. I do plan on getting the portable oil filled radiator out and putting it in the coop at night. Not too warm so they don't get a shock but enough to make...

I know there are places where it gets cold like this regularly but not being used to it makes it worse. Saying prayers for everyone affected by this cold snap.
Negative F numbers!!! Not looking forward to this. It's not unusual to get one or two of these cold spells once in a while here in western PA but it's usually only -2 or -3. It's been a while since I've seen it this cold here (1980's and 90's). 🥶
I don't have goats however I found that someone else answered your questions in a previous old post - https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/how-cold-is-too-cold-for-my-nigerian-dwarf-goats.272451/
Hope that helps!
Had a high of 72 F today and 51 F now at 130am with a low of 49 overnight and a high of 66 to 70 forecast for sunday. Cooler than normal for our area but I'm not complaining considering the heat we had last month and all the terrible heat other places are getting.
