How cold is too cold?

I have chicks that are 5 weeks and 4 weeks.:.. they have been outside for about week now full time.... But its going to be COLD the next couple nights about 24-26 degrees.... Will they be able to regulate themselves tempurature wise?... Thy still have the he lamp in thier coop/run...?

Make sure there are no drafts on them and I don't know how big your coop is? I like having 2 heat lamps on chicks outside if they are not yet fully feathered out. Just, in case a lamp burns out - they would still have one for heat. Hope this winter ends soon! Stay warm.
