Sources?

My understanding is that a Cornish Game Hen has its roots in Cornwall, whereas a poussin has its roots in France, and lives under strict growth and diet conditions. If I am wrong, a better source for the information would be helpful.

The poussin I buy from my local supermarket come from the UK - so I am not sure! Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 05:01, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
My Joy of Cooking states that rock Cornish hen's are a particular cross-breed, while poussins are quite simply very young chickens.

I notice the definition is lifted almost verbatim from a commercial site: British Poussin --Gobbag 18:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?

The picture of the poussin appears to be manipulated. It looks (to me at least) to be a morph of a poussin and a lion. If you look at the left side, you can see the nostrils, looking top-center, you can see the eye. I'm removing it. If others feel it is not manipulated, they can revert.

Thanks for the personal attack. I'm reverting the page again. I know you (Brookie) are an admin, but after further review, I'm certain the image you uploaded is digitally altered. Rlax 02:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
