Update to bump this:
We did get freedom ranger meat chickens. They are about 3 weeks old now and zero mortality so far.
They actually act like real chickens, not like the cornish freaks-of-nature!

By all means please keep us up to date. CC are nasty birds in my opinion, they are what they are. I would love to have an alternative to them for meat.
