How long can a chicken stay alive, once its head has been chopped off?

Define alive.  I'd argue it was dead already (yes, I know it's maybe wandering round).

I'm talking alive - walking around - aware of its surroundings (being touched etc)

Oh, does this all stem from that freaky "I Kept A Headless Chicken For 42 Days" (ermm, OK, can't remember if it was 42) news story?  I chose not to believe that!

Ooh, it was Mike the headless chicken I was thinking of, just got the time a bit out!  I still struggle to find the whole thing credible!

It seems as though he could have lived longer... And he wasn't properly decapitated...


Can't figure out why anyone would want a pet, headless chicken or rooster. Is that cool? I would think that might suck, quite a bit...

I dont think it was deliberate - and they saw the option to make some money... but I'm with you - I would have shot it. Its the kindest thing to do - you know, like with kids.
