I have been trying to find this book about a group of friends about 3 or 4 of them. One of them has a headless chicken. One get hung accidentally in the woods. It's set in the 1900s and rural community. I have been trying to find it but I can't, I'm hoping this works. It's a suspense book for like teens and young adults

This sounds like The Hanging Woods by Scott Loring Sanders.
