If you are using the light as a heat source then the light can be removed when they are fully feathered at about 6 weeks or when the temperature in the brooder box equals the temperature outside. 60F is a suitable temperature to sustain a chick older than 6 weeks.
It depends on the ambient temperatures. If you live in colder climate areas you can keep them in a brooder box for up to six weeks. Once the chicks are almost fully feathered, as long as they have shelter from the wind and rain they will be fine.
