I was greeted by this site recently on my Nearside allotment - where we keep most of our poultry. Someone had thrown in a cabbage stalk which the chickens and ducks had stripped bare, leaving this skeleton behind! Since then, the poultry have eaten the leaf stalks as well. Before this summer, the goats would have eaten the stalks but they were moved to our farm in August. There's a great deal of grazing for them there and the poultry and goats don't have to go into competition for the snacks that get thrown over the gate.
