What is a Cornish Hen?
Cornish hens are chickens that come from Cornwall, UK. The breed was brought to America by Thomas Cornish in 1872. The first chickens to be named Cornish were a cross between a chicken and a pheasant. The Cornish breed is prized for its egg production, and the ability to lay around three eggs per day. The hens are raised under industrial conditions and are kept in large coops, which means that they don’t have much access to the outdoors. Today, Cornish hens are bred primarily for meat, but they can be used for both eggs and meat. It’s important to note that cornish hens are a type of hybrid hen and not a 100% hen.
