| Corn Tassles |
Next to sample are the tassels from the corn I grew. I will say, they weren’t quite as popular as the cabbage! The chickens enjoyed a variety of extra garden produce that summer—Swiss chard, endives, lettuce, marigolds, and even old bean plants. I also raked up grass clippings from mowing and they had fun climbing around in that “green sand pile.” People don’t typically think of chickens as grazers, but they actually prefer greenery over pellet foods. All but scratch, anyway!

Looks like it's "combs-down" on the tassles!
I remember trying to feed the chickens those corn tassels and how we had to try to keep our fingers out so that the rooster couldn't peck them.
