Mike the Headless Chicken was fed through a funnel. Breathing wasn't a problem as his trachea was intact (if shortened). It is believed that a sufficient part of his lower brain stem remained intact, allowing basic motions and some instinctual behavior. Crowing and mounting hens, though... not for our Mike.
The capacity of chickens to live without parts of their brains even inspired a U.K. architect student, Andre AndrÃ©, ford in 2012 to propose the systematic rearing of-brain dead broilers as a method of maximizing-factory farm production and to curb-chicken. sufferinghe skull of a chicken contains two massive openings for the eyes that allow the brain to be shoved upwards into the skull at an angle of around 45 degrees. This means that while some of the brain may be sliced away, a very important part remains.
