Thanks for posting up the pictures, I'm kind of in the same boat for the life of me can't find any in my area. Going to have to drive around to other grocery stores or farmer's markets and see what is available.

I can only find the big bag of pre cut collards and turnips . I always have 3/4 of the bag go bad. Which is better for them collards or turnips.....I think they like them just about the same.

Collard should be fed every day? as much as they will eat? just tear up the leaves nice and small? include the stem or leave it out?

yep, collards are great to use everyday. and yes, give them as much as they will eat - the more the merrier. tear up the leaves into nice, bite-sized pieces and throw the stems away.
