What does a chicken with its head cut off represent in a voodoo ritual?

In Vodun and related diaspora faiths, chickens are sometimes given to the Orishas (lesser gods in charge of forces of nature) as offerings. If you saw an altar that had a beheaded chicken on it, this is just because in that person's tradition, the offering must be left there for a certain amount of time.
Be mindful that practices do vary from place to place even in Africa. However, generally, this is why a chicken might be there.
If you are considering offering a live chicken yourself, you should consult a Vodun or diaspora priest, priestess, or very experienced practitioner before attempting to do something like this yourself. Depending on your situation, you may not be allowed to do it at all.

I have a string voodoo doll that looks like a devil with wings and an oval head what does it stand for?
Voodoo dolls when made are very personalized things. They are often made to look like or represent the person being worked with. (Keep in mind voodoo dolls are rarely used for negative purposes). Chances are if the doll was made with a specific person in mind, the wings and other details were made as things that were meaningful to that person. There is also a chance that the doll was simply made as a decorative piece and doesn't have any specific symbolic reasoning behind it.
