Pilgrim's Pride is the major source for KFC's chicken, especially in the Southeast. The story about so called chickens kept alive with tubes in the body and no heads or feet is so outlandish that it's funny. First, that type of chicken would cost so much that KFC would have to go out of the chicken business. It's just too much work for one chicken. I have seen some of the farms in Georgia that are contracted to Pilgrim's Pride, and the owners proudly tell you that their birds are going to Kentucky Fried Chicken. The birds are commercial broilers kept in long houses and carefully watched over by the farmer and maybe two other people, but generally the farmer can handle it on his own. Chickens always have access to food and water, and air is circulated and cooled or heated so that the chicks are not stressed during their rapid growing period. Just don't listen to these fanciful urban legends.
Yes, Jake the headless chicken was a real chicken in Colorado who lived for 18 months without a head after a failed slaughter attempt in 1945. His story became a viral sensation and he even became a sideshow attraction, demonstrating how he could still eat and crow without a head.

No higher animal can live without a head. (Decapitated insects can sometimes move around for a considerable time, however, because their nervous systems are not as centralized.)
Yes, the story of Mike the chicken is true. because some brain and nerve endings survived the Axe. it is possible for a chicken to live for quite awile without a head, though 18 months, it may be an exageration.
It will normally die. However, it can flop around for awhile because the nerves are still triggering its muscles. Removing the head from chickens or other higher-order animals causes them to die. Insects such as cockroaches are less dependent on their brains for metabolic activities, and can live for days or even weeks.If you cut off the chicken's head completely then it will obviously die. But sometimes people just cut off the chicken's head where the upper brain is. If the brain stem (near the neck) is left intact, the chicken could remain alive, because the brain stem basically controls the autonomic and instinctive functions, such as pumping blood and breathing.In 1945, one famous rooster survived for 18 months without most of its head.

If your head is cut off you die instantly. Your body cannot survive without your brain.
Yes, but for less than a minute.
The cockroach's brain is in its rear end, so if it loses its head it will be able to survive. It may seem strange that a cockroach could lose its head and still live, but that's the reason why.
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
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.
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. :)
1 hour unless you are hannibal nectar
yES
No
could be, could not.
