I am in Southern Mn. and all I use for heat in winter is a heat lamp bulb in the ceiling light fixture and a heat lamp hanging directly on top of water fountain. On those rare -20 windy nights it will go below freezing in the coop but the water will not freeze with that lamp right on top of it. I also bank outside walls with 2 high bales.

There is really not as much to it as most would have you believe. It is not rocket science. Make sure they have fresh clean water at all times. Throw in all your table scraps and garden scraps and let them go to work for you. If the kids start handling them from day one they will grow up very tame. Have fun, The Flying Belgian.
