Upcoming cold-front with chicken not used to cold, and don't have the supplies

[moisture]

Wasn't sure to post this in the Emergencies area or the Flock Maintaining area, if it was wrong to post here let me know.
Next week here (near Seattle) we have a cold front coming with possibly some snow. Normally I wouldn't be worried about snow, but it's the cold that comes with it this time that worries me. There at least six days predicted right now where it doesn't even get above freezing. The lows on some days in 14, but the prediction has gotten down to 10 before. I know this is probably average mid-west winter, but here in Seattle this is something that usually doesn't happen so we don't have an preparations except cardboard on top of their houses to prevent drafts and keep in heat.
I've got nine chicken divided into three coops cause we got them at different times and they hate each other, one coop has 4, one has 3 and one has 2. We have two late molters who are still missing some feathers. I've also got a couple breeds who supposedly aren't good in heat (Austra White, Polish). I have two small dogs crates that can fit two chickens in emergencies but not for long.
When it got up to 108 this June we had to bring all nine chickens inside and it messed up that room for some time so we'd preferably not have to do that again. We might be able to move the two chicken on their own to live with three for the cold but one of the two is really mean and ended up ripping two of the other chickens neck feathers out and one of them just got them back.
Today I found some drinkers that were the heated types but they were $90 and we'd have to buy at least two, the colds supposed to start Sunday and with Christmas I don't think we can get much on time to help them, what should I do to make them warmer and safer?
BTW here's the coop layouts: (large coop - 4 chickens) Australorp, Austra White, Polish, Easter Egger. (Large coop - 3 chickens) Australorp, Maran(slightly molting), Wyandotte, (Small coop - 2 chickens) Ameraucana, Wyandotte.

Do you have pics by chance? Also heated dog bowls last longer and are way cheaper so I would do that. But if you had pics of coops that would be helpful. So I can help you

Bowls are 20 to 30 dollars

Where I live we didn’t have freezing temps but americaunas are cold hardy and my polish mix doesn’t mind it. Do You have a screened in porch you can put them in? My Easter egger too is ok With colder weather. And wow 108 thas hot

The chicken breeds that you have should be able to handle the coming cold temps.. The one molting would be only one questionable. All depends how severe the molt is at this time.

I don't know how your coops are set up. The size of them is also a factor. If you have small coops,, I understand that you are doing the best you can.

Here is something for your consideration for the future,,
If your coop is sufficiently large enough, all your chickens should be able to stay in one coop. If the run space is also large enough,, the chickens usually will not be bothered by other chickens being there.
It is in the run while outside, that integration is best accomplished. If chickens are always separated,,, then they do not integrate.

So now lets get to your problem that is current. Try to block off any draft winds from blowing thru the coop, roost area. You do need to provide ventilation though. The ventilation should be openings well above chickens' heads as they sleep on roost.
A draft,,, is when the air movement is sufficient to ruffle chickens feathers.
Ventilation,,, is when there is gentle air movement thru coop to carry away moisture, and Ammonia buildup.
For water,, consider getting Heated dog water bowls. That is what I have in my run currently.

There are other ways to provide liquid water options,,, but you are somewhat pressed for time at this moment.
I know money does not grow on trees,,, so consider visiting some thrift stores, if that is an option. I got mine used for under $5 each. The one pictured above is going for $44 at Walmart.

Lets see what other people suggest.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and

I don't have any actual pictures on hand right now, but our two larger coops are this one with slightly different nesting box and the ladder coming out into the run instead of under it, the food and water are under the house. Our smaller coop looks just like this and we added an uncovered extra run space for them.

Do they free range or are they always in there?

If tops are covered leave them amd then if they free range then cover two sides with tarps on coop and run both long leave short sides open. If they dont free range
if they do free range. Cover all with tarps.
Can you do that or do you need cheaper option?

They're always inside when we're not watching. Would love to let them out on they're own but we've got too many predators in the area.
