building chicken coops birds

Chicken, winter heat lamps question?
This is my fourth winter with chickens. I have 20 in each coop. The coop I built this summer is greater as my first and I was wondering if I should put an extra heat lamp there for the winter. I live in Ohio, with winter nighttime temps are above 33 degrees mild, rarely colder. My older birds are there, they are 2 and 3 years old. I only use the lamp in the coop to help others, the water from freezing, but it helps warm coop, because cooperation is small. Thank you both for responding. I thought about the same. I wonder whether there are other people on the program, the poultry is raised. I wanted to add, "Rusty Oldma, I eat my pets," would make but oh my, what is missing for the back, lol. Which color you use for heat lamps. Red or white, and why? I'm about a white inside, red with thinking. In this way, the girls have the Choice. Cool?
I live in Ohio and, if the winter is pretty cold. My father and I had a huge coop that 12 (W) * 24 (L) * 7 (H) built so its pretty big. We have a home-made home for my chickens and ducks usually go in. I had straw in it and if it begins to snow, we have a lamp in it. My ducks are really the one who uses it, but also some of my chickens. I also have a nesting box and a district that goes from one end to another (they love definitely to sleep) and of corse food and water. The water freezes, so that we, the thermal waterers that allow them freeze, dont get. Well, you only need prbably should them with a fine.
