In the US Poussin is an alternative name for a small-sized cross-breed chicken called Rock Cornish game hen, developed in the late 1950s, which is twice as old and twice as large as the typical British poussin. Poussin, also known as coquelet or spring chick, is a young chicken less than 28 days old and usually weighs 14–16 oz but not above 26 oz. Although, spring chicken usually refers to chickens weighing 26–30 oz. The meat is very tender and lean.
