Probably a bit early for that temperature, unless they have almost all of there feathers already. You could probably get away with a regular 40 to 60 watt bulb placed somewhat close overhead of them, to give them a place to get warm,,,, if they chirp alot, they are too cold, they will let you...
Just do another 4x4, split the run, 2 doors, and you can have separate area for the chickens you didn't expect to have that will be arriving shortly,,,,, most likely...LOL !!!

Thinking, guessing, hoping it's a girl for ya ! The Roos usually have a very pronounced comb by this age.
Nice bird,, congrats !
Definitely not the easiest breed to hatch. Have a batch in now, last round went fairly well,, 23 out of 30, and didn't have to help any of them.... YAY ...
