That's less than a year...

im guessing some brain matter was left over? because this is pretty nuts, i mean look at it, looks like a pretty low chop at the neck. i dont understand, someone explain this to me, and dont say ITS GOD's WILL...or that "it was so dumb it didnt realize its head was cut off so it lived" lol retarded farmers

I have a few possible explanation

1) It's all bullshit.
2) Its brain didn't control its motor functions, which I guess would have to be in the spine or something.

Freaky stuff, though.

It's real and it had most of its brain stem:

question.
how can a biological entity survive a year without the conversion of plant or animal matter to energy?the intake of oxygen?expulsion of waste gas?
without a receptical(sp?) for food,water or even air death would be imminent.

well aside from the brain, the only thing your head really does as far as survival goes is eat, and provide some extra tubes for the gases. his throat was apperently just fine, and as long as they hand "fed" his throat with water and food, theres no reason he couldn't have breathed just fine. the only real issue is his brain being gone, but while a part of it was, most of the brain stem (and an ear) was still there.

I wonder how many chickens after that had to have 3/4 their head chopped off while the farmer and his wife anxiously watched waiting to see if they'd continue living.

That's nuts. Almost as crazy as that dog with no body continuing to live. Now that is some messed up stuff.

Thanks. Fixed that.

they say that they dropped food and water into its throat opening

If you can call that living....

It's like living without a dorsal fin... I just couldn't do that.

enoch's head must've been cut off too.

i think you can call this living... as opposed to the great things this chicken was destined for...?

perhaps he could have aspired to go to university... or maybe.. through some stroke of fate... be the subject in a scientific experiment... and become the most famous chicken this side of foghorn leghorn?


living indeed!

i have a feeling this is an SNL skit...
