How old should a chicken be to butcher it??

Do it at the age unless it's a meat bird, or you may be waiting forever and end up with a chicken shaped rubber band.

They just seem so small at 8 weeks. Mine are now 4 months, and they still seem small. Maybe I am expecting too much. My grandma butchered chickens every year and they seemed much bigger. Maybe because I was smaller.
