This chicken was Beheaded by the owner in 1945 but only died in 1947.

It lived without head for almost 2 years and became the most famous bird in its time. It even went on tours and made a lot of money for the owner as more people wanted to see it.

Thousands of people believed it was a spiritual chicken despite the scientific explanations to its survival.

Here's the explanation:
The owner missed the jugular vein and a blood clot formed and prevented the chicken from bleeding to death.
Although its head was severed, most of its brain stem were left on the body. Basic functions like breathing, heart rate, etc as well as most of a chicken's reflex actions are controlled by the brain stem, so Mike The Headless Chicken was able to remain quite healthy for another 18 months without a Head.

Lesson: To The Scientific, Nothing is Terrific. When you understand the science of life, you will stop being superstitious.

Question: If you lived in 1940s, would you be among those who believed that the chicken had spiritual powers or would you be among those who understood the science of its survival?

Think!

Na wa oo. Poor thing. Had a long life though for an average chicken.

What's the intention of the owner to get the head severed without killing it instantly. This has to be the cruelest experiment on animal ever.

na the issue of feeding I never understand.

How e con dey feed?

Judgement day is here

Salewa97:

Even after the scientific explanation... You ought to be 1940s people

Salewa97:


It is not fiction. It’s real.

how did it feed? Remember, after it lost its head, there must have been a blood clot at the severed part. Let's be reasonable, please.

Here. is what I saw elsewhere:

Olsen realized he had in Mike an attraction that others would pay to see and spent the next 18 months exhibiting the headless rooster at fairs, carnivals, and other public events. He fed Mike by dripping water and liquid food into his esophagus with a dropper and removed mucous from his throat with a syringe. Mike became so famous that even Time magazine wrote about him.

Mike died on March 17, 1947, while on tour in Phoenix, Arizona. Olsen and his wife, Clara, awoke in their hotel room to the sound of Mike choking on mucous. They searched for the syringe, only to realize that they had accidentally left it at the sideshow where Mike had been on display. Unable to suction the mucous from Mike’s throat, they could only look on as he suffocated.

Though his amazing story ended many decades ago, Mike the Headless Chicken has not been forgotten by the citizens of Fruita. Every year, the city hosts a festival in his honor, which draws hundreds of attendees from around the
