Mike the Headless Chicken

This was by far the strangest thing I have come across this week. A Headless Chicken that did not know that it was headless. Mike (as the chicken was named) was once quite an ordinary chicken when it's owner Lloyd Olsen decided that Mike would be on the menu the night off Sept 10th 1945. Lloyd used a sharp axe to chop off Mike's head and left Mike to bleed to death. When Lloyd returned Mike was fast asleep with his head tucked under his wing. This is where the really strange part comes in. Lloyd was so amazed by the chickens will to live he started feeding it with an eye dropper through the gaping hole in its neck. Mike ended up living without a head for 18 Months and carried on like a normal chicken.Isn't that just the strangest thing? I take my hat (Head)off to Mike the chicken. Mike the headless chicken is now so renowned in Colorado that it has its own Festival held every year around the month off May. Mike even has its own organization and a huge following.
