I read about that a while ago, and at first I didn't believe it either. Apparently he died choking on food?

Here this should work

There are threads in the BYC archives on Mike.

I watched a video about that!! They actually had it on Netflix. I think it was called the history of the chicken or something like that.

That's really cool. If that chicken had been on my property, my dad would have tried to eat him a SECOND time!!!!

Last week my friend used Mike as an example of how stupid chickens are. Mike lived for 18 months with no head, so how much do they really use their brains?

thanks for the link polish. How is it possible for a chicken to keep living without a head, i mean i guess it had some spinal cord still working

That absolutely blows my mind. I don't even know what to say about. I now guess I know why my chickens run towards my dogs who eat them...they are stupid. Wow...crazy stuff man.
