Here’s a site devoted to Mike the Headless Chicken. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Mike (and I’m going to go out on a limb and say that that’s pretty much anyone reading this), he’s a chicken from the 1940s whose owner didn’t do a very good job of decapitating. Amazingly, the farmer left enough of the brain stem to enable the chicken to live a normal (ahem) life. Granted, it had to be fed through its exposed trachea. Neat site: it’s even got a theme song for the long-deceased, headless fowl. Useless Information has more information.
