Q&A

What is the estimated feed consumption for these birds at the end of four weeks?
A Cornish Game Hen has an estimated feed consumption of 2.5 lbs per bird over four weeks.

If Cornish hens are not butchered at 4 weeks is that ok. I accidentally ordered the wrong thing and wanted Cornish cross.
The Cornish Game Hen is a Jumbo Cornish X Rock female. To get the single consumption sized bird, you would butcher them at 3.5-4 weeks of age. Otherwise, you may let them grow out to 8-10 weeks of age for a larger meat bird.

I want to order Cornish Game Hens for delivery in May. When can I place my order to assure you are not sold out?
You can place an order any time after November of this year and choose your delivery date for next year.

What is the growth term (number of weeks) for finishing game hens?
Cornish Game Hens should be butchered at 3.5-4 weeks of age (2-2/12 pounds live weight) to obtain a single consumption sized bird.
