Assuming health non-mutated animals:
Feet = 4*Pigs + 2*Chickens
Heads = Pigs + Chickens

By back substitution:
78 = 4*(27-Chickens) + 2*Chickens
78 = 108 -2*Chickens
-30 = -2*Chickens
Chickens= 15

Then:
27 = Pigs + 15
Pigs = 12

To check:
Feet = 4*Pigs + 2*Chickens
78 = 4*12 + 2*15
78 = 48 + 30
78 = 78 CHECKS
