Like a headless chicken

To act in a frenzied manner.

Chickens like most animals are occasionally able to run around for a few seconds after having there head chopped off as the nerves are still responding to the last thoughts of the brain. Chickens run around frenzied after their head is chopped off.





Ex: He was running around like a headless chicken this morning! He was really late.



Spanish: ir dando palos de ciego



German: wie ein kopfloses Huhn herumlaufen
