Sweet corn

[Midge&Panda]

I'm currently growing sweetcorn for the girls, now I know they can eat the husks and the silks but can they eay the other leaves on the plant. It may be a silly question but I want to make sure I'm not giving anything that might be harmful to them. Thanks.

Hey, you know what? I have no idea. There are no silly questions really. I have no idea about the chemical makeup of the rest of the plant so I would say better safe than sorry and don't risk it.

yup, they can eat the leaves as well as the husk and cob.

Sweetcorn is a member of the grass family, so I would expect that the leaves are edible.
