‘Mike the Headless Chicken (April 1945 – March 1947) was a chicken that lived for 18 months after his head had been mostly cut off. Thought by many to be a hoax, the bird was taken by his owner to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City to establish its authenticity.’
(Wikipedia) "He was fed on a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper; he was also fed small grains of corn"
