Headless chicken just legend.
For example, we kill a chicken at home, their technology is very confident, but not a knife to kill a chicken. Dai Li when you are on one side, four chickens still struggling.
In 1945, Mike the headless chicken because of its owner's mistakes, the head was cut off in the carotid artery was not cut, so it live for 18 months. Mike the Headless Chicken masters after it no head, eye drops bottle milk and water are mixed together to feed Mike, but Mike mucus blockage or because of death.
Poultry physiologist and neurobiologist Dr. Wayne J. Kuenzel University of Arkansas that can live chicken without head and part of its skeletal structure relationship. Chicken skull to the eye left two huge gap, which makes things inside the brain at about a 45 degree angle to squeeze together. This means that even if part of what the brain is cut off, the core parts remain in the body.
Kuenzel said: "Because the brain has a point of view that exist, for headless chicken critical to the survival of the operation part still exists."
He said parts of the chicken eye is less critical eye over the site only forebrain. If there is a headless chicken at the mouth, then it is possible the cerebellum and brain stem is intact, these two make the chicken's body functioning, but also have the ability to breathe. This means that, in exceptional circumstances, a headless chicken just being implemented lobe amputation. So headless chicken alive, but lost it in some parts of the brain.
This ability chickens lose some brain tissue can survive and even inspired a British architect student Andr Ford, he made systematically broiler brain death in 2012, so that we can make to maximize the yield of farms , but also to control pain chicken (this plan did not materialize).
After the chicken's head chopped off, it will struggle for a long time before his death. Chicken struggle does not mean that it was still alive, according to Kuenzel that really can live long headless chicken "is a very rare phenomenon." Mike the headless chicken brain was gone, but it's still in the brain stem, it can control breathing, heartbeat and most reflex action.
That is the most humane method of slicing and dicing the chicken in the general blood lost when still struggling. Kuenzel said: "The chicken's head and neck to separate the moment, it is like humans, there will be a lot of action limbs." So those headless chicken they just panicked state after the death of nerve twitch it.
After the chicken's head is not, and is unlikely to feel any pain, because it's somatosensory cortex (the brain to respond to the tactile parts) there may have been cut off - but if you give it properly bled and cut to the right place, it will die faster few chickens should have some of the more humane.
