Every situation is different. There is also a difference in breeds. A 5 week Russian orloff can handle what an adult serama or cemani can.
I've had 3 and 4 week olds get lost in the woods at night in the 50s and return in the morning. I'm quite sure anything below 20F would be quite hard on anything under 5 weeks.
A large group of chicks huddled out of the wind can handle extremes. A lone chick or two is a different story.
