How A Headless Chicken Lived for 18 months
Close headless chicken survived for 18 months and became famous, and scientists believe it was all because of a lucky blow that prevented its sudden demise. Seventy years ago, farmer Lloyd Olsen was decapitating chickens on his family farm in Fruita, Colorado to be sold to the market when one of 40 to 50 beheaded chickens picked themselves up and ran across the yard. It was very much alive. Olsen caught the chicken, which he eventually named Mike in an apple box on the porch. The next morning, Olsen and his wife were surprised to find that the decapitated chicken was still alive.
