I know chickens can survive for a bit running around with their head cut off...
I don't actually remove the head, I just thoroughly crush it with a pair of tweezers. It doesn't kill them but they can't feed and it seems to get em good and addled. They eventually starve to death if not eaten and can survive quite a while in this zombified state. I have 3 in with an enclosure right now that're still on their backs kicking their legs, put them in last week.
