Look at what the fryers at the store weight..........if you want alot of weight, go to 9 or 10 weeks. Those last few weeks they put alpt of weight on, but they sure can eat. I butchers a few at 12 weeks, looked like small turkey .....just don't go over 12 weeks unless you want roasters.
could be the cold, some feed will go to keep them warm. Take them to 9 weeks should get them to 5 lbs.
I keep feed in front of mine 24/7 but only 12 hrs of light, so they don't eat all night.
Sound like your friends didn't get enought feed, 2 times aday ? Should have feed in front of them all day. Sex of the chicken will also make a big differents, males put alot more weight on.
