New Delhi: September 10th, 1945 was the day when Lloyd Olsen from Fruita, Colorado caught a a five-and-a-half-month-old chicken to be cooked as dinner for his mother in law.The chicken was named mike by Lloyd Olsen.
Lloyd knew his mother-in-law would be dining with them and would savor the neck. He positioned his ax precisely, estimating just the right tolerances, to leave a generous neck bone.
After buthchering Mike's neck Olsen sat down to wait for the bird to die, but when he made no signs of doing so, Olsen decided to have something different for dinner that night.
When Olsen found Mike the next morning, sleeping with his “head” under his wing, he decided that if Mike had that much will to live, he would figure out a way to feed and water him. With an eyedropper Mike was given grain and water.
