Thinking on the phrase...

[NogginBoink]

... "running around like a chicken with its head cut off."

How does a chicken with no head run? Is it any different than the way a chicken WITH a head would run?

What, in particular, is so peculiar about the manner in which a chicken with no head runs?

Just curious.

 

[AccruedExpenditure]

A chicken with it's head cut off runs and doesn't know where it's going... I've seen it.

 

[Sheepathon]

I think it would be running a bit more frantically than usual. Blood flying everywhere might be a factor as well.

 

[YetioDoom]

A chicken with a head can see where it's going.
