Tell me about it. I have my no electricity to my coop. I have my main coop and run where most of my birds are. Then I have part of the run sectioned off with what I call the hay shanty. I needed a quick, temporary "coop" for my only bantam at the time because she is my little girls pet and I can't let her free range with the other chickens for fear something might get her. So she got a pair of WCB Polish to keep her company and to keep the other chickens from picking out the roos headfeathers. And then I have a rabbit hutch style cage, up off the ground for my silkies. So yes, I too have been dealing with frozen water.
