Until now, nothing. I watered once a day into an old bathtub.

Now that I'm reduced to running out with 5 gallon buckets of water, I'm
checking hourly, refilling maybe every three or four hours.

I have a draft and two mini horses.

Central Indiana. The water I'm spilling on the barn (cement) floor is
freezing as soon as it hits.

Nice time to freeze a well spigot up, huh?

Yeah, I hear you. We are trying to keep 30 chickens, two dogs, and a cat in
water at a place where we don't live yet.

Still frozen after 24 hours. :(

Anyone know how I can create a hole in the ozone right over the hydrant?
-12 overnight was probably not a big help in getting anything thawed even
WITH heat tape and insulation.
