Mike the miracle chicken. You understand that this was just a story, right? The chicken was not actually headless. A clumsy attempt was made to decapitate the rooster and most of the brain was left intact. A blood clot formed saving the bird from bleeding to death. For the remainder of its life it was fed with an eyedropper and put on display at rural fairs etc.
The name of the chicken was Mike. It had lived in Colorado for 18 months. (1945-47)
3 months
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.
No, a chicken's head is located at the front of its body, not the back of its neck. The head is usually covered by feathers and connected to the neck, which allows the chicken to move and turn its head easily.
Some examples of animals that can survive without a head include cockroaches, chickens, and flatworms. These animals are able to survive because their vital organs are located throughout their bodies, allowing them to continue functioning even without a head. Cockroaches can breathe through small holes in their bodies, chickens can still move and even attempt to peck for food, and flatworms can regenerate their heads over time.

yes
Chickens duck and bob their head as a substitute for eye movement. Chickens eyes do not move well and head movement increases the area of vision and ground covered when searching for food. When you see the head moving about then you know the hen is looking for something.
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. :)
