If they've been spending some time outdoors during the day, or at least have not had a heat lamp on them for a week or so, they will probably be fine.  They would need a truly draft free area with plenty of hay or similar to snuggle into.  If they're in a coop and they wanted to, I'd let them sleep in a nest box for a few weeks.

Actually, they'll adjust just fine to cool to warm weather.  If you were moving them out to a sudden blast of 100F, I'd be quite concerned.  Gosh, it was hot today....
