They can live for about 15 to 20 seconds. They do this because the nerves in their body are still working.

A chicken without a head can only live for several seconds. Then it will die. But the body of the chicken can run around and flap its wings strenuously, if you consider that really any kind of life.
Chicken with No Head Keeps On RunningAfter a chicken has its head cut off, it can run around for up to a minute or longer, since the spinal nerves continue to send impulses to the muscles.There is documentation of a chicken living 18 months after having his head cut off while being slaughtered. His name was "mike the headless chicken". In his case, the axe missed the stem of the brain which runs all the processes vital to life, allowing him to live.
