Refusing their greens

Recommended Posts

I've been letting our girls roam since we've had them but now want to recover the garden a bit so I'm reducing the amount of free ranging they can do.

 

There is plenty of space in the run for them and in addition I've fenced off the area around their run and let them range in there most days.

 

To keep them entertained I've started hanging a cabbage in the run for them to nibble on but they just are not interested.

 

Any idea why?

their finding tastier thing to nibble on plus cabbage isn't very tasty this time of year compared to grass shoots and young leaves that are full of sugars plus all the insects and bugs they can find beats salad any day of the week :lol:

mine much prefer cauliflower and sprout plants the rougher the better. if I clean up a cabbage to much then it'll sit in the run for a couple of days. I don't start feeding brassicas much before late October through once the apples and non keeping squashes have finished. this time of year they've got plenty of leaves to got at plus it's nearly time to prune the grape vine and apple trees so they'll get the prunings to go through
