"Mike the Headless Chicken: The Incredible Story of the Cock That Lived Without a Head"Mike was a chicken that lived without a head for 18 months. In 1945, a farmer named Lloyd Olsen of Fruita, Colorado, attempted to slaughter Mike for dinner, but he missed the jugular vein, and Mike survived the beheading. Remarkably, Mike continued to live and even thrived for a time, with his owner feeding him through an eyedropper.

Mike became a sideshow attraction, traveling around the United States and being shown to crowds. Despite not having a head, he was able to perform basic bodily functions, likely due to the fact that part of his brain stem remained intact, controlling his reflexes.

Mike's story became a popular oddity, and he was known as "Mike the Headless Chicken." He died in 1947, when he choked to death, as he was unable to properly eat without his head. His story remains a strange and fascinating piece of history.
