Flowers and tributes were left in an alleyway where the body of a mystery dead baby was found - before police realised it was only a chicken foetus.
A member of the public discovered the remains in a back alley in the Anfield area of Liverpool. Police cordoned off the scene but soon realised that it was not a human but a chicken foetus.

Well-wishers had laid more than a dozen bunches of flowers at the scene, along with cards and teddy bears. Merseyside Police told the community on Monday to "stop grieving, it's only a chicken".

Compassionate to a fault, us Scousers. :)

:noid:

anyone informed KFC?

Least we show heart I guess.

Things like that will fuel comments like what Johnson said though. Plus didn't people check the difference of the feotus since a chickens and babies would have different shape like different head shape.

Dead parrots, dead chickens - bit of a theme developing in the press this week. :badgrin:
