I harvested the two ears of corn last week and they were delicious - I really should have taken a picture. Being generous, I shared half the bounty with the chicks who at first ignored it but I yanked off a kernel to show them, they came and attacked the cob with vigor. We had to hold the cob for them since otherwise it would roll around and they would "accidentally" peck our fingers. Hey, we're not food.
Unfortunately, they have now discovered the corn stalks and for some reason like to eat the leaves so they are yanking on the ends. Hopefully the other corn won't go the way of the strawberries which had to be replanted in hopes of regrowth.
