It varies with every bird. Also with diet, temperature, sunlight, gentetic inheritance, etc.
I find mine that are born in warm weather with natural sunlight can be colored up in 4 months. Those born in fall/winter indoors can take 6 moths to 9 months. A few won't complete their molt in the first year but molt that last juvie feathers with their second molt.
But I would say for most the average time is 6 months.
