99% of farmers do not worry about the age of the birds, what matters is the weight.
Poorly fed/ light birds can be as old as four months or more before reaching desired weight and meat to fat ratio. Well fed birds can often be culled at about 2 months old or once they reach about 6 to 8 lbs unless specifically required as "Cornish" or "poussin" in which case they are often 28 days old and 1.5 to 2 lbs.
