Famous headless fowl feted in Fruita, Colo.

Miracle Mike is a chicken which according to legend, lived 18 months after a farmer lopped off his head with an ax but left his brain stem, a jugular vein and one ear intact. Lloyd Olsen is the farmer that chopped off MM's head but for no reason let it live. Olsen kept record of the chicken in a scrapebook and it was discovered by his grandson.
