Feruz is a Scotland Under-21 international who has two goals in four games for his country. He made two Championship appearances for relegated Blackpool last season.
Reports last week claimed that several English clubs, as well as Hertha Berlin and Rayo Vallecano, were keen on the teenager, but Hibernian have won the race for his signature.
He is the third Chelsea player to secure a loan move away on transfer deadline day, after Alex Davey and Victor Moses, who have signed for Peterborough United and West Ham United respectively.
The Blues have brought in Nantes defender Papy Djilobodji and are working on deals for Reading centre-back Michael Hector and Paris Saint-Germain star Marquinhos in the final hours of the window.
