It sometimes gets in the single digits, but the avarage temperature here in the winter I'd say around the low 20's. The little hen house is on pneumatic casters, so I rolled it into one of my barns, for the winter months. The barn is un heated, but stays a little warmer than the outside temperature. The water for the barn cats will freeze up sometimes, so I'd imagine it would for the chickens as well. The water heater that I made for the chickens, doesn't have to heat the water, just keep it warm enough to not freeze on them extra cold days.
