I decided to give the girls a lettuce from our mixed leaves patch in the veg plot. The girls are used to having spinach leaves and spring green leaves so I was surprised to see that they viewed the lettuce with some caution at first.
Speckles called the little girls to the lettuce
As usual Freckles and Rusty are first to investigate.
Emerald joined in
Cinnamon is having a peck at the lettuce.
Apricot investigates
Eventually they realised it was just a different shaped type of green and all greens are good.
By the afternoon there wasn’t much left of the lettuce
Freckles has a last peck at the stalk
I think I can safely say they enjoyed our home grown lettuce.

They did not leave much of that.
By the time I next went in there was only the stalk left.
I love it when they investigate things, your first picture captures that moment!
I love it too especially when Rusty stretches her neck out to check something out.
