When the top hen gets bullied, even a cluck-tastic veteran learns something new
When the top hen gets bullied, even a cluck-tastic veteran learns something new. This poor Polish hen couldn't hold her head up, just resting her beak on the coop floor like she'd given up on chicken life entirely. I've dealt with feathered friends for years, but this limberneck business was a first for me. We threw the whole barn at her: nutri-drench, vitamin E gel, selenium, even a B-complex shot in the breast. Risky? Absolutely. But watching her perk back up on Day 4? That's the kind of fowl play I can get behind.

Our Polish Hen's Mystery Illness Had Us All Clucking for Answers
A Polish hen with her head hanging and wings fanned out sounds like something from a horror movie, honestly. When one of our flock started acting lame, we hoped she was just laying an egg. By Day 2, she couldn't hold her head up, and the internet pointed us toward botulism or limberneck, neither of which is a fun Saturday. A vet wasn't an option, so we went all in: nutri-drench, electrolytes, vitamin E gel, and a very careful needleless syringe. Our "bring them back from death's door" friend was on speed dial. It was terrifying, messy, and the laundry room still smells like chicken. But she perked up.
