Hey all I'm a newbie with cornish x roosters is is normal for them to weigh 8lb at 10 weeks?? they free range and get fed twice a day and I don't give them any extra breed

Yep, sounds about right. They are bred to grow very big, very fast.

Sounds normal. Most people process them at 7-8 weeks of age.
