chickens
Pollin the chicken survived Newclaste twice and never gave up clucking
There she was, legs trembling, head held high, refusing to quit. Pollin survived Newcastle disease not once, but twice. The first outbreak hit my mom's flock hard, taking many chickens. Only one rooster and nine hens pulled through, and Pollin was among them. She never let herself fall. I treated her, and she bounced back fastest. Then a second strain came. Others collapsed, couldn't lift their necks. Not Pollin. She'd wobble over to me, asking for her medicine. She fought through the headaches, and in under three days, she was fully healed. Now she follows me everywhere, lays eggs, and raises chicks. It's like she knows I helped save her. This clever girl proves chickens are way smarter than we give them credit for.
