Is this a serious question? Take 2 seconds and THINK. Can ANYTHING live without it's head? If you take out something's batteries will it continue to work? If you rip out the electrical wiring, will your object still work? No. Sometimes when you behead a chicken the nerves will make it run around for a minute or two afterward, but it's dead for sure. It's just it's nerves using up the last bit of "juice" it has left.

There has been a chicken named Mike that lived for 18 months with it's head cut off. I doubt it could happen to any other chickens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_the_Headless_Chicken

NO it can not. Mike had his brain stem still there. He was NOT headless. He even had an ear.
