I'm using my light brahmas for meat chickens for my FFA project. When should I take them to get butchered? They're about 3-4 months now.

I was wondering if I would be able to cover my brooder with a towel over night to get them to sleep. I have slept in the past 3 nights because they have been up chirping all night.
