If you just eat it as ordinary chicken, it doesn't matter how many months it has been fed! You can take it easy: isn't the chicken that has been fed for a short time more tender and tastes better? As for nutrition, which one of us is still short of nutrition? It's already overnourished!
But if it is used for dietotherapy, or as a semi-medicine, such as pregnant women, patients and the elderly to nourish qi and blood, or middle-aged women to delay menopause, then you need to use good black-bone chicken! It's best that the black-bone chicken raised by farmers in free range 1 year or above has real effect! Among them, the old black-bone chicken with more than 3 years is the best!

If there is an old black-bone chicken that needs nourishing, how to choose?
①: The skin, flesh and bones are all black, and the shiny ones are black!
②: Check the roughness of black-bone chicken's feet and limbs! Like the old bark, the old black-bone chicken feet have obvious mottled feeling, and the skin is black and white.
③: There are generally dense white hairs on the outside of the feet of live black-bone chickens, but it is not absolute. A small number of free-range black-bone chickens have almost lost their hair because of the wild waves everywhere in the woodland! (This happened to my domestic black-bone chicken when I was a child.)
4: Look at the comb! The hen's crown is small, like a mulberry, and its color is dark. The rooster's crown is larger, like a flower, purple, and a few are big red.
5: Look at your ears! The ear color of black-bone chicken fed for a short time is bright, and the ear color of black-bone chicken in adulthood is lighter.
