This I found pretty interesting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_the_Headless_Chicken

Mike the Headless Chicken (April 1945 – March 1947), also known as Miracle Mike,^[1] was a Wyandotte rooster that lived for 18 months after its head had been mostly cut off. Thought by many to be a hoax, the bird was taken by its owner to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City to establish its authenticity

etc etc

What do you think?

I think slow roasted with spring potatoes, gravy and baby carrots.

I've worked for a headless chicken for years..............

How'd the bugger eat?

I gives the saying "get that down your neck" a whole new meaning.

He was fed with an eye dropper. He actually chocked to death 2 years after having his head chopped off. It missed the jugular and left enough of the brain stem for him to survive.

The owner made $4,500 a month from touring with the chicken. Different times we live in...

Was he chocked to stop him running away? Although his only view must have been backwards, under his own undercarriage.

It may seem so, but Mike was examined by several organisations and deemed to have no suffering. It was an unfortunate fluck that he died and obviously his owners would have preffered for him to live - they made a lot of money from him!

I think i would feel like throwing up if i saw that chooky walking about the place. Wah!

"Eek chucks up after chocked chook is flucked and plucked".

I'll save the Telegraph yet.

Regards.

hah!

..afterthought.. who calls a chicken "Mike" anyway? I mean really! What made them look at this headless chicky running around and think.."hmm...lets call him..Mike!".

Yeah, surely 'Bob' would have been better!

Or Nobby........

Well anyway, its amazing what you can achieve when you stick your neck out, aint it!

sorry

Many asked if Mike was in pain or uncomfortable...

But as can be seen in the below photo of Mike.

He was actually laughing his head off...

Nah to old and stringy. It was an old boiler by the end there.

Here's the story of Mike........

It is an interesting story.

Mike reminds me of a few people I've known over the years.

In todays world the preferred name for a headless chicken would be Ben or Gordon.

Regards.

What about Noddy?

Of course it wouldn't happen these days. Back in the '40's headless chickens were a relative rarity but nowadays they're so common we elect them as politicians just to keep them off the streets.

It is really animal cruelty to the extreme - the way they showed his own face to him!!!

But he didn't have any eyes to see it - and it wasn't even his own head!
