Filling out your profile so we know where you live makes it easier to give advice specific to your location. In general India Blues or their mutations can tolerate quite low temperatures as long as they have a good wind block or building they can go into. This years hatch or six to eight month old birds should have more protection from the cold than older birds would need. I would suggest a draft free enclosed coop with good ventilation and a bed of straw. When they get too cold on the roost they will go to the ground and you don't want them sleeping on the ground as the moisture will come up and cause frost bite. Roosts should be a wide flat board which will help them cover their feet with the breast feathers and lessen the chance of frost bite, 2x4 laid flat works well for perches.

I'm in Eastern Ontario. It stays well below freezing here for many weeks and we get lots of snow. In last 48 hours received 40cm/15in heavy wet snow that that isn't usual.
The peacocks haven't had a problem, and I follow KsKingBee's advice. They have a large run but always access to their indoor coop area in the barn. Perches available in both areas.
On any given day that the sun is shining, and the wind is not blowing too much, they will be on the outside perches by choice.

Both my IB/mutation birds and my greens get heat on especially cold days. The "they don't need heat just a place to get out of the wind" idea does not apply when you're as far north as we are. I'm in WI and if I didn't heat even my IB birds I would lose a few to freezing to death every year.
