Nothing can survive (for long) without a head. Chickens can have a flurry of uncoordinated activity immediately after being beheaded because of random muscle contractions triggered by still-active nerves in the spine.
However, there are recorded instances of chickens that DID live for some time after having been decapitated. In 1945, a rooster named Mike lived for 18 months after most of his head was chopped off. His brain stem, which controls breathing, heartbeat, and other autonomic reflexes, was apparently still intact, as were major blood vessels in the neck.

Mike the Headless chicken lived almost two years: (April 1945 - March 1947)
2 days if you keep them in good health
They can live for about 15 to 20 seconds. They do this because the nerves in their body are still working.
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.
The head is still alive for a maximum of 10 seconds. The body will twitch for a little longer
it can last for at least ten seconds

The immediate loss of blood pressure to the brain would make your head lose consciousness within a second or two. Hypoxia sets in and you've got total brain death in 5 minutes. I hope you are not planning to experiment...
usally 10 to 12 years. !

live for a long time that's what I've been told
im not not shure if you mean how long do cockroaches live without a head, but if so i read they can last about week.
A baby chicken can live to be an adult depending on how much care it is given. It must stay indoors until its outer feathers are grown.
