How long must a keet stay in the brooder if I am not sure about the exact age?

[KeetLover101]

So I found a keet runt that was abandon by its mother . I have a brooder but I'm not so sure how long the keet should stay in there because I don't know the exact age . The keet is already fully feathered but I'm still not so sure how long it should stay in the brooder

Any help or suggestions would be great

if it's fully feathered it may not need a light. If it's chirping alot without one set one up but make sure it ha a place to go to get cool away from the light. you can keep moving it further back until it stays under it. Then once a week back it up until it's 5 degrees cooler until it dont need it anymore. But again it may be fine without it since it' fully feathered.
