Seventy years ago, a farmer beheaded a chicken in Colorado, and it refused to die. Mike, as the bird became known, survived for 18 months and became famous. But how did he live without a head for so long, asks Chris Stokel-Walker.
On 10 September 1945 Lloyd Olsen and his wife Clara were killing chickens, on their farm in Fruita, Colorado. Olsen would decapitate the birds, his wife would clean them up. But one of the 40 or 50 animals that went under Olsen's hatchet that day didn't behave like the rest.

Which Democrat state did it represent in the U.S. Senate?
That sounds like a fair division of labor. I wish I could get my wife to agree to that for the dove and quail I shoot, but no luck so far. And rabbits and deer are right out.
We had one that seemed to live about 18 minutes after Grandma chopped its head off. It flew up and down and ran around the barnyard like crazy until it finally dropped over.
They fed it with a dropper. Ghoulish.
That’s nothing! Up here in Canaduh, since 2015, we’ve had a Crime Minister who is brain dead!
and then he became President of the United States
Chicken dinners are very tasty. Fun to eat.
Preparing the chicken, not so much.
As someone who spent summers on a farm as a kid, I know a little bit about both.

I wish I would have been that lucky I worked at my uncle’s farm during summers and he was a pig farmer...
Not so amazing at all. Biden has lived longer than that and he doesn’t have a brain.
If that’s the picture, then he didn’t cut off the head. He cut off the face of the chicken leaving it blind and unable to eat. (How did it survive with no food?) I’m not interested enough to read the entire article, but the guy did’t make a clean cut at the right spot.
That is what is seems to have happened.

I’d have used a baster.
Yeah...I got to watch for where the chickens ran when they got lopped. Seems like a killing cone would have been put up at some point, but no.
My granddad on my mother’s side lived outside of New Orleans just upriver. The levee was literally across the hwy. They had 40 acres and grew corn and other stuff I’ve long forgotten. Had chickens, too. I remember that Grandpa would snatch a chicken by the neck right there in the yard and whirl it around over his head a few times to break its neck. Then came the pluckin’ and the guttin’.
How old is BIden?
When I was four my grandmother took me by boat to the old country (Italy) and among my weird memories of the time was watching her cut a chicken’s head off. I watched them de-feather and clean it and eventually fry it. I wondered, at what point does this become something I’ll want to remember. Watching it fry up into something edible was that point.
