Do you get an occasional freeze? What do you do? Wish we didn't

. I have a little ceramic heater and thermostat ordered for the ones that can't take a freeze and they are in a pop-up greenhouse now. A farm supply company makes an inexpensive thermostat that turns on/off the heat at 40F or 50F...don't recall exact temp...whatever works for chickens LOL. This is the first year I'm trying this setup out.
