The Echo reports:
‘A makeshift shrine has sprung up in Liverpool - in memory of a dead chicken. Bouquets of flowers, teddy bears and handwritten cards have been laid outside an angling store in Anfield's Oakfield Road by people who believe a baby's body was found there.
‘The confusion began last Tuesday when a woman telephoned police to report the discovery of a baby's body. Paramedics could not identify the body and neither could the attending police doctor, who studied the foetus left outside Anfield Tackle. The corpse was taken to a nearby hospital where it was later identified by medical staff as a chicken.
‘Locals have laid tributes to the "baby", and have left supportive messages for the supposed mother.’
