What age to butcher a chicken

[dexterlady]

I have a friend who has two chickens she wants to slaughter....Does anyone know at what age do you slaughter for meat...She wants to put them in the pot...One is a rooster and one hen,,,Both are Americanas....Thanks for the info....

Well, to me, the roo goes when it turns to 'the dark side' and starts to be nasty. The hen goes when she stops laying or kills her chicks...
