At one month old the chicks should be at a temp of around 75 to 80 degrees at back height. A simple brooder light set up in the pen where they can stay warm would be sufficient. Chicks cannot really withstand cold until they are fully feathered. The rule of thumb is to drop the temp around the chicks 5 degrees for every week of age until minimum ambient air temperature is reached. During the day they are probably ok but watch that they are not getting chilled and wanting to huddle together.

Can 3 month chicks take 20-30F without me having to worry?

Do you mean three (3) month old chicks or chicks that are three months old?

Regardless of their age, if they are fully feathered they should be fine at those temperatures. My six 10 day old bantams were dancing around this morning in an unheated coop with their momma with the temperature at 18F. Truly amazing to behold.
