You were not limiting your genetics to heritage breeds but here is a good study on heritage meat birds. https://projects.sare.org/project-reports/fnc12-866/

Yea I'm free ranging perfer white birds never have a problem with predator why I let em out morning and make sure closed up at night during day their fine

And I also like a bird in the 6 to 10 pound range at 18 weeks old I think its doable with a lil work

I kept a CX pullet, restricted diet and exercise, bred her to my heritage mix roo. Hatched a pullet and 3 cockerels. I used the cockerels and most of flock is out of them.
I got her end of March, she started laying middle of Sept and quit Oct. She never started laying again before she died at 1 yr old

Cockerels dress out 5 to 7 lbs at 16 weeks.
