When they are first hatched, just like all chicks. Once they have fully feathered out they are reasonably cold tolerant and would need only a wind & weather proof shelter for roosting at night during a moderate winter. When temperatures drop below freezing on a regular basis during the winter a single 100 watt light bulb in the roost will provide enough heat to keep them warm.

Why do chickens need a wattle?
Both the wattle and comb have two uses. These appendages are used to attract mates and are also used to cool the chickens. Blood circulates close to the surface of both the comb and wattle allowing for release of internal heat. Chickens do not sweat, they pant and heat is released via the cooler air flow over the wattle & comb.
