From what I've read, usually about 8-10 weeks old. There are breeds of chicken which gain several pounds in that span of time and which would have health problems later in life if permitted to live.

How long does it take a Rhode Island red chicken to grow for slaughter?
Rhode Island Reds are a dual purpose bird and are used for both eggs and meat. They grow slower than breeds designed specifically for meat. The roosters grow to slaughter size by about 16 weeks with proper feed and finishing. Hens can be held longer and ready for the table by 18 weeks but muscle development is slow enough to hold off slaughter until both genders reach as much as 28 weeks, allowing for a full 4 to 6 lb carcass.
