Mike the Headless Chicken, a.k.a Miracle Mike from Fruita, Colorado isn’t dead.

It appears he went in hiding. The pressure must have been so enormous and hard to handle after the instant fame that he was experiencing.

Mike the chicken was determined to live and for a while, he showed many people his intentions to do just that.

Mike’s owner was Lloyd Olsen a farmer from Fruita. Lloyd cut off Mikes head to eat him for dinner one night in 1945, but Mike wouldn’t die. Mike was a pretty remarkable chicken.

Now in honor of Mike, there is a Festival in Fruita called; “Mike the Headless Chicken Festival.” This Fruita Festival began in 1999 and is held each year, usually at the end of May.

Mike is celebrated with a headless chicken 5K run, egg toss, chicken bingo and more.
