Every day this week they have been enjoying the lettuce that had gone to seed, chard and dandelion leaves. I have been saving the cabbage until last as I felt it would keep the longest.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I gave the girls a couple of cabbages. I wasn&#8217;t sure if they would be too hard for the girls but they love them. I think because they are quite solid it makes it easier for them to keep pecking at them than loose leaves. The cabbage stays put while they peck at the outer leaves.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12912\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17673.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12912\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12912\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17673.jpg\" alt=\"Peaches and Barley peck at the cabbage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17673.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17673-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peaches and Barley peck at the cabbage<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_12913\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17675.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12913\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12913\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17675.jpg\" alt=\"These two girls are always together\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17675-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12913\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">These two girls are always together<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_12914\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17676.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12914\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12914\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17676.jpg\" alt=\"Two little combs together\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17676.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17676-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12914\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two little combs together<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_12915\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17677.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12915\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12915\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17677.jpg\" alt=\"Later in the day the cabbage is disappearing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17677-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12915\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Later in the day the cabbage is disappearing<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This has kept them entertained all day today and will continue to entertain them tomorrow too and I still have one large cabbage left.
