I heard about this when I lived in Colorado, wehre they have an annual festival for this poor, hapless chicken.

Honestly, I could have lived my entire life and not heard about this, and seeing a picture was just too much for me. A very, very disturbing thing to me, no doubt about it.

My grandma always said a chicken is one of the stupidest animals ever to live ... and I suppose this proves her right. A chicken with only a brain stem acts the exact same way a normal chicken does. Scary.
