Mike..

So i bets youse are all wondering who the heck is Mike, well mums uncle told her this funny thing which mum didn't believe until she researched it.....

Mike is (or was, he's dead now) A HEADLESS CHICKEN!!!!!!
Yep youse heard me right, a HEADLESS chicken.

He was a normal chicken in a normal farm and as we all know when chickens live on farms they get killed so we can eats them, the farmer man was getting ready to chop Mike's head off (poor Mike) and when he did the weirdest thing happened. The farmer man missed the jugular vein, leaving most of Mike's brain stem intact!!!!!! Mike was able to walk clumsily and even balance on a perch!  Since Mike didn't die, the farmer man decided to keep him and dedicate his life to caring for the money-making headless chicken. He fed him a diet of milk and water via a eye dropper. The chicken was quite a hit and earned $4, 500 per month by doing side shows, he was valued at around $10, 000!

Sadly in March 1947 at a motel in Phoenix Mike died, he started chocking in the middle of the night and the farmer man had left his throat cleaning syringe and eye dropper at the show, Mike sadly chocked to death.

How bizarre is that!!!


I would do a fact but i think Mike's story is a fact in itself... chickens can survive without a head BOL.
