Rinse hens lightly and pat dry. Season (inside & out) with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika; rub lightly with oil. Divide stuffing among hens. Tie legs together and place on rack in roasting pan.
Preheat oven to 350 and roast hens 1- 1 1/2 hours.

Stuffing: Melt butter, add garlic, parsley, green onion, and celery; saute vegetables until soft. Add crabmeat. Salt & pepper. Stir gently not to break up crabmeat, simmer. Add breadcrumbs and half & half, a little at a time so mixture is not too dry.
