Betcha they learn to drink fast there .You know it's cold when water in the bucket ices over five minutes after you put it outside!
Do you have electric handy ? Best thing I found is bird bath heaters. They automatically come on at 35 degrees with built in temperature switch.
I leave them in the bucket w/ chicken nipples on it all winter. I notch the top of bucket rim so plug hangs out. Works great.

They are not real cheap but last over the cheaper ones. Two years and no problems with this model . And the temperature switch is in the water so you are not heating till the water temp gets down to 35 degrees.
