Yes. They will be perfectly fine.

Ok. Thanks , I have put something around the chicken run to prevent cold wind. Hope they’ll be ok

They will be fine. They are animals and are built for this. Coddling them and keeping them inside won’t do them any good - when a chicken is all feathered out they have their down and the ability to keep themselves warm. You are right in providing an area where they can get out of the elements. That’s all you need to do!
