I have realized that they love to peck at the corn cob long after the corn has gone and I now leave it in with them all day until it is completely smooth.<\/p>\n<p>It now takes two of us to tie the cabbage because as soon as I go to the ladder the girls are up to the top in a flash and before I can run round the other side to secure the wire they have pulled the cabbage down. They really seem to enjoy the ladder and go back to it throughout the day until all that is left of the cabbage is the stalk.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3586\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/im_joining_you.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3586\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3586\" alt=\"I am joining you two at the top of the ladder\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/im_joining_you.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/im_joining_you.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/im_joining_you-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3586\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I am joining you two at the top of the ladder<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3587\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/we_are_all_pecking_at_the_cabbage.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3587\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3587\" alt=\"Now we can all peck at the cabbage\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/we_are_all_pecking_at_the_cabbage.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/we_are_all_pecking_at_the_cabbage.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/we_are_all_pecking_at_the_cabbage-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Now we can all peck at the cabbage<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3588\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/theres_not_really_enough_room_for_three.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3588\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3588\" alt=\"There's not really enough room for all three of us\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/theres_not_really_enough_room_for_three.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/theres_not_really_enough_room_for_three.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/theres_not_really_enough_room_for_three-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3588\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There&#8217;s not really enough room for all three of us<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3589\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/okay_one_of_us_needs_to_step_down.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3589\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3589\" alt=\"Okay, one of us needs to step down\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/okay_one_of_us_needs_to_step_down.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/okay_one_of_us_needs_to_step_down.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/okay_one_of_us_needs_to_step_down-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Okay, one of us needs to step down<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It gets crowded with all three of them at the top and they seem to take it turns for one of them to go underneath the ladder and pick up all the bits that get dropped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The chooks now prefer their cabbage from the ladder than on the ground.
