No.
A chicken that appears to have no head and is moving is either not really alive or is not really headless.
A chicken or any other animal cannot live without their head. When a chicken is killed in the manner where its head is detached from the rest of its body, it is clear to see that the nerves in the body of the carcass still twitch for a few seconds to a minute or so afterwords. To live suggests to keep going beyond the time after a set period, such as the chicken having it's head removed, again, like most other living things, once the head is removed from the body, it is therefore impossible to keep living.
It cannot. When a chicken's head is cut off there is sometimes still some very brief residual movement because of the nervous system shutting down, but the chicken is quite dead. ''I found their weakness. They're powerless without theirheads!''
A chicken can live about 2 years without its head!
A chicken was for the chop at a farm but the axe missed and didn't hit a certain nerve so the chicken survived for another 2 years!
It depends where you cut the chicken's head off because it could live for 2 years if you cut it's head off in the right placeFirst of all, most chickens don't live long after their heads are cut off, which makes sense since the point of cutting off the head is to kill the chicken. If the head is cut off completely and properly, the chicken should die and stay dead.
The reason some chickens survive a beheading is that sometimes the brain stem, or most of it, is left behind. The brain stem is what controls the chicken's reflexes and instincts--things like breathing, heartbeat, movement, and basic behaviors. Unlike insects and other lower lifeforms, chickens (like mammals) are dependent on their brains for metabolic regulation.
A chicken normally dies of shock, bleeding, difficulty breathing through a damaged trachea, or from damage to its brain stem or spinal cord. Even if it survives more than a few hours, it would still die of dehydration or starvation, being unable to eat without a head.
Mike is one of the most famous headless chickens (he traveled in sideshows, and was photographed for Time and Lifemagazines). After his head was cut off on September 10, 1945, he was kept alive for 18 months by his owner, who used an eyedropper to drip a mixture of ground-up corn kernels and water down the open throat. He finally died because his owner forgot or was unable to clean out his trachea, and the chicken suffocated.
Many studies done show complete removal of the head results in death within 5 to 15 seconds. Movement after that indicate residual muscular twitching and brain stem pre commands.
The tale of the headless chicken living for months was a botched chop job and the brain of the poor bird was left intact but exposed.
You MIGHT get some auto-motor reflex action. It IS possible, therefore, for a chicken to move for a few seconds after losing its head.
Yes a year and two months. well not for that long but it will live for some minutes
Yes. There have been reports of headless chicken living for days.
It could not. What you heard is an URBAN legend and is totally false.

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...)
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.
a person who doese not have direction
To wring a chickens neck for eating someone takes the chicken by the head or neck and swing them in a circle in front of them, When the head pops off the chicken will run a bit.
I don't know, hey what do you call a chicken without a head? A headless chicken! HAHAHAHAHA! Hope ya'll enjoyed that. I sure did
Well i don't know if it was 6 months or not, but it did live.. how can a animal live without a brain. Hmm.. Google: Mike The Wonder Chicken. :)
yES
In the film, Chicken Run, the chicken that knits is called Babs.
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.
Headless Chickens comes from the phrase "To run around like a headless chicken" Meaning to panic and run around aimlessly. It comes from the fact that sometimes when the head of a chicken is cut off it will run around in circles aimlessly until it dies.
This refers to the fact that a decapitated chicken may continue to run and flap its wings for some time, although to no purpose. A person whose response to an emergency is inefficient, disconnected or panicky activity is said to run around like a chicken with its head cut off. It can also mean (metaphorically) equally unproductive or illogical activity.
