Take a Bite Out of Crime... or a Chocolate Chicken

Chris Curtin, owner of Eclat Chocolates in West Chester has a problem. His Christmas chicken is missing his head. It happened a few weeks ago and he is still looking for the vandal.

While Curtin was tending to his chocolate in the back, the chicken sat unassuming in the front of the shop. When he returned, he noticed that its head had been completely decapitated!

“See, here’s a laceration to the face . . .” he points out. “You can clearly see a compound fracture here.”

With the display stand at around three feet, it’s too big for a dog or small child to get at, and seemingly too short (although very tempting) for an adult to lean down and chomp such a pretty creation.

”It was a painless death I think." He says, looking at its remains.

If anyone has any tips or leads (or wants to order their own chocolate chicken!), you can reach Curtin at Eclát Chocolates (610-692-5206).
