Man saves chicken's life: 'You're too young to die'
First there was Mike the Headless Chicken, a rooster that survived for 18 months after having its head lopped off with an ax. Now, western Colorado has a new chicken survival story, this one involving a man who claims he saved his fowl by giving it mouth-to-beak resuscitation. Uegene Safken says one of the chickens in his young flock had gotten into a tub of water in the yard last week and appeared to have died.
Safken said he first swung the chicken by the feet to revive it. When that failed, he continued swinging and blowing into its beak. "Then one eye opened. I thought it was an involuntary response," Safken said. The chicken's beak opened a little wider, and Safken started yelling at it,

"You're too young to die! "Every time I'd yell at him, he'd chirp," Safken said. Mike the Headless Chicken survived a beheading in 1945 in Fruita, Colo. Afterward, Mike could go through the motions of pecking for food, and when he tried to crow, a gurgle came out. His owner put feed and water directly into Mike's gullet with an eyedropper.
Scientists examined the chicken and theorized Mike had enough of a brain stem left to live headless. He was a popular attraction until he choked to death on a corn kernel.

I know a girl who saved a cat using mouth-to-mouth resucitation so why not a chicken? To the person who got his chickens confused, please re-read this story. The Headless chicken is not the same one that was saved by resucitation - and yes it's a true story. Do a search on "headless chicken" and you'll find out all about it.

I say its impossible. The brain stem part makes it convincing, but if the chicken was headless, how would the chicken have a beak for the guy to give mouth-to-beak resuscitation to?

The story about the beak to mouth resussitation was hillarious!Is that even possible?
The headless chicken though is unbelievable, Did it walk around? How did it know were it was going?
Cool story though.

No chickens don't choke on corn.

I think someone deliberately killed Mike by not smashing up that Kernal.
