Depends on the breed you have. From my understanding none of the broad breasted can mate naturally. By the time they are old enough they are far too large. Heritage breeds are more able to since they are slower growers and don't get nearly as big as the bronze or white. My tom is well over 30 pounds live weight now, probably near 40 pounds and the hens are over 25 pounds each.
