I actually just bought that heater. In case of a power outage, the can come in the house or garage. Very very rarely do we lose power here. Last winter was one of the worst we’ve had in a long time and everyone did ok but we didn’t have the seramas last year. I believe the adults will be fine, and have the heater just in case of below freezing temps like last year. The chicks won’t be going outside until spring, that’s a given.Seramas are obviously not a cold hardy breed. You are in a COLD WINTER area. The second dilemma in your case is your chicks. They will not be all that well feathered out when the chill arrives.
If you read my post above you can see that I tried to keep mine at ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS.
A person in my area that also has some Seramas, first time this year, is considering an electrical heat option. I think this is what was in consideration.

I am just passing along this info, but not endorsing it. Another thing not GREAT about providing HEAT, is the possibility of a power outage. You are then stuck between a stone and a hard spot. Your chickens are used to the milder temps in coop , and suddenly the radical change. In my case, I used a wood burning stove (in my garage) that did not depend on electricity to provide heat. Of course I had ample supply of wood.
