That is still a good age. They do recommend that you actually butcher at 5-6 months of age. Owner of over 100 free range chickens for over 3 years. We don’t eat our chickens we sell eggs and hatch to sell baby chicks or grown chickens.

No there fine. There is no such thing as chicken that’s too old or tough there are however different types of chicken ages. The younger ones are known as fryers because they are more tender however the old birds can be cooked as chicken and dumplings, Coco Van or any recipe that involves boiling or baking with liquids that would cause the chicken to be more tender. Those are also good recipes for chicken breast as they tend to be dryer than the dark meat.
