Even though I added some shaping to these chickens, they are easy to make. I think the shaping added an interesting and fun look. On the back part, where the tailfeathers are, we are adding more stitches compared to the front part. This helps to add some shaping to make your chicken look like a real chick!

About this pattern
As I mentioned in the beginning, this chicken pattern has some shaping. However, it is not hard to make. If you mix colors, you can also make other types of birds. Maybe a little singing bird?
All the parts are made separately and sewn together. I embroidered on the beak and placed the safety eyes close to the beak. I glued mine to get them close to the beak and if you are just planning to use the crochet amigurumi chicken for decoration, I suggest you do the same.

Assembly
Use a double strand of yarn in orange to embroider on the beak. Sew the beak on the top of the head, between rows 11-12. When sewing on the beak, find a point on the lower part that you always go back to, and make a triangle. Attach safety eyes close to the beak. Use glue to attach the eyes. Alternatively, you can embroider on the eyes too.
Find a nice place for the wings and attach them to the body. I sewed mine on rows 6-10. Sew on the feet between rows 3-4. Sew on the tail feathers on rows 7-8 where the increases are. Sew on the feet on round 2.
