Southwestern Ohio currently at 3°. Supposed to get up to about 25° today and a little sunny. we have a foot of snow on the ground. I am a little concerned about my rather hefty four-year-old Nigerian dwarf goats. They are in an enclosed area of the barn. That is not insulated. They have lots of hay to eat and straw as bedding and draft blockers. I’ve left whole bales of hay there to block drafts. I’ve heard you should not put blankets or coats on them. Their fur is fluffed up. But the thinner one does shiver a little bit. I also feed them a little grain twice a day and they have a heated water bucket. Any suggestions on keeping them warm or? Or should I be concerned at 3° we’re gonna have several nights like that.

I don't have goats however I found that someone else answered your questions in a previous old post - https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/how-cold-is-too-cold-for-my-nigerian-dwarf-goats.272451/
Hope that helps!

The last time my area of mobile had to drip faucets for three night in a row was 2 years ago in December 2022 and that was when I no longer wanted to walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus
It was actually colder then
than it is now
I remember my walk and wait felt 9 degrees
I even asked my boss if I could be late on cold morning’s because I no longer wanted to be outside
