At what age?

At what age are keets fully feathered? I saw that they have to be kept at 95 degrees until fully feathered or they will die.

Thank you in advance.

Guinea keets should be started in the brooder with the temperature set at 90° to 95°F measured at the bedding level. The temperature should be lowered by 5°F once a week until the keets are accustomed to the ambient temperature.

I currently have keets without heat at two weeks old. The ambient temperature in their grow out pen gets down into the mid 70°F range during the night.

Once again, thank you for your response. I appreciate all the knowledge you have to share with this first timer!
