Anyone ever raise them?
I have a pretty big open air shed in the back that was used as a boat shed. Thinking about enclosing it and making it a pen to raise game hens in. Thinking about the Cornish x hens
Any tips on the feeding schedule? I have read so much it seems overwhelming. Seems there is a pretty strict schedule and amount they need to be fed. And what to feed?
A buddy of mine got into raisin em. Within 6 months he sold em all and dust want anything to do with em. Says it was too much I deal with. Idk
I have 6 that we keep in with the regular chickens. I feed them the chicken feed and scratch grain that the chickens eat. They seem to do fine.
Sorry I was wrong he raised quail not Cornish hens
Well now, lets see what are you wantingto raise them for is the question? To just have some chickens? you would be better to have laying hens. Now if you want to raise them to carry around to all of these game hen shows (Yeah a chicken shows) then you might have your work cut out for ya. Those show hens need a lot of preping like giving them a bath and clipping everything. But I will tell you this much you carry a bunch of Game hens to a show and you haven't ever the likes of "Hens cackling".
