Dual purpose birds take something like 18-20 weeks to get to butchering size as a general rule vs 6-8 weeks for a cornish cross. People that mix their own feed usually need a pretty big operation to make it worth their while. I feed commercial food.

If I'm raising them strictly for meat, I go with Cornish X. I've heard plenty of great things about the freedom rangers too, just never raised any. Few raise barred rocks for meat as far as I know, but many raise rocks for dual purpose, meat and eggs.
