I have never tried the freedom rangers, I have 19 cornish x right now, and I want to get more when we process these guys. I have been able to free range mine, and have only had one loss @ 7 weeks. they run around the yard, and eat grass and bugs all day, I supplement w/ grower feed in the mourning only. I have become interested in the FR breeds, as the all white CC's are a bit boring to look at!! let me know if anyone gets anything from the Amish guy!!
