Chicken - Free Pattern

Chickens are a lovable farm staple! A farm never looks complete unless there's at least a few chickens running around. And they have so much personality, too! If you don't have your own real chickens, this will make a great substitute. Looking to increase the size of your flock? Check out my reversible egg/chick pattern here!

Sew the wings to the body. I like to sew it so that the end of each wing can stick out a little bit, but you can sew it however you think looks best.
