The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system are separate in the chicken. The parasympathetic nervous system is like our reflex system. It is a knee jerk reaction that by passes the brain. It came from running from predators.

Do chickens have two brains If not how does a chicken run without a head?
when a chicken has its head cut off, there are still nerves working in the body - with no head - it is these nerves that cause the chicken to run for a few seconds after death (I was told by a teacher at school that they just have a bundle of nerves in their neck, which explains how they can run around headless if their neck was severed close to the base of their head. I guess they would usually die of blood loss when this happens...)
