I agree they will be fine in your little house with a well secured heat lamp. Make sure the heat lamp is rated for outdoors and cannot be knocked off into the straw or bedding as it can (will) cause a fire (I lost a hen coop to that).

To make you feel better, when my hen brooded her chicks in February, the chicks were running around without her covering in a matter of days. Then they run to huddle for a while, then they run around in the cold again. It's being a normal chicken. You'll recreate that in the hen coop with the heat lamp. They don't need to be inside, and are actually better outside. They'll grow and feather faster.
