The Goofy French Chicken

The French famously adore their chickens. In all shapes and forms. So naturalemente the chocolate chicken for Paques/Easter is a must. Is there anything to complain about this chicken? I say nay. But what is going on here? Is this not a sacrilege to tart up a chicken in this fashion?
Isn't something seriously amiss here?
Still if I offered you the chance to hop into top chocolatier Francois Pralus shop in the Marais, you'd be inside pecking around no matter what he's done to those chickens. HMPH.
Lenotre sends their goofy chickens high up in Montgolfier egg-shaped balloons.
The price is rather high too. Goofiness costs. C'est la vie.
So far the French egg has gone unadulterated for Easter but don't hold your breath.
Except for some delightful flowers from Jadis et Gourmande...
Would I be wrong in thinking the goofy French chicken probably lays goofy chocolate eclairs?
BONJOUR GOOFY FRENCH CHICKENS

Le Gros Poulet...

As you walze around Paris.You're bound to bump into an awful lot of...Chickens! Have you noticed? Admittedly some of them are waiting to go into the pot like these poulet de Bresse...

FYI:The difference between "poule" and "poulet"
A "poule"is a hen while a "poulet" refers to chicken meat..cooked chicken.

As grace said previously the last time the French chicken came up- That's not a chicken in the window laying macarons, that's a ROOSTER (or coq), symbol of France! Cocorico is what it says (instead of cock-a-doodle-do)
Shall we rename Paris "Le Gros Poulet"?

After all they call New York the "La Grosse Pomme"

Here's another rooster in a St. Germain galerie vitrine...
Christian Claisse These could only be French chickens in my opinion.


Christian Claisse They're quite imposing and aristocratic no?
