from what I've learned from these posts; as long as they are feathered, they will be just fine out in the coop. How old are they now?

I'd start them out in the coop run area the day this week then next week fully to the coop.

That's still a bit young to leave them outside full time, especially if they have been brooded in doors and have not been acclimated to the cold. I would start putting them outside during the day and bringing them in at night for a week or two and than if they seem to be doing well, start leaving them out all the time.

I kicked mine out at 3 weeks, but provided supplemental heat in the form of a lectro-kennel pad turned upside down and supported with a wood frame. They could go in their cave to warm up when it got too cold. Everyone did fine, even when it dropped below freezing.
