poor mike! No idea what to make of it either.

It's alledgedly true and he lived for 18 months post decapitation attempt..
I've read about it before, goggle it.
The rest is spam...

[silverback]

Yeah right!.........another of those urban ledgends!

[LittleBrownFrog]

That one has been doing the rounds for years! I think it's well enough documented that it's likely to be true... weird though.

[wendy]

Very old story and true as far as I know.
But very, very sick !!!

[silverback]

Theres no way that this chicken could possibly live after being decapitated
how did it drink or feed itself!.....oh yes!, magic mushrooms

[LittleBrownFrog]

If I remember correctly, the story is that it was a botched decapitation, and that the jugular vein and the brain stem were left intact, (or something) - he was fed liquid food using an eye-dropper.

Wikipedia link (yes, I know, Wikipedia ... fount of all knowledge etc etc [if we had an eye-rolling smiley, I would use it here])

That is what all the info says. He took it around side shows etc.

Is possible for them to survive if tube/dropper fed, but then who in their right mind would go ahead & do it

[Cranford Steve]

I know that if you cut off a cockroach's head it will only die from starvation. If it it dint need to eat or drink or some one fed it somehow it would only die of old age or getting stood on. The chicken thing is new to me but really cool!

Oh poor Mike
