Best guess is the labor and other costs involved....
The price of specialty poultry is insane.
Cornish hens spend half the time/money on care and feeding and then charge twice the price.
And the Capons too, rooster castration doesn't warrant $10.+ per pound.

Thanks David, I have leftover birds, where ya at?
I understand it from the business aspect, high overhead, seasonality and them being a specialty item with low sales, if they're gonna make a profit the price has to be high on the Capons, Cornish hens and other specialty poultry just like any other specialty product.Thank you for the service to Scouting. Got my Silver Beaver a few years ago.

Castrating a rooster requires surgery or chemicals. Check your bird for a scar line down by the lower abdomen. If none it was a chemical transformation which still requires intervention.
I don't think game hens can get the commercial gut suck due to size nor a mechanical plucker due to the thinner skin.
Back in college days a housemate had a grad student research project with turkeys and had way better hatch than needed for his test study. He butchered the culls around the size of game hens. They were delicious and didn't have the extra poultry flavor of a grown turkey
LOL... Yeah, just a 2057 mile hop, skip and a jump.Just a few long strides from you , cross the 49th and right beside Maine.![]()
