That's a lie. Old chickens are tough, usually only egg laying breeds get old. "Egg laying" varieties are not tough at basic maturity. Taste better too, than the commercial meat breeds. I'm specifically getting chicken wings from egg laying breeds because the skin is thicker and crisps up better than fast growth meat breeds (run a bar)
