Chickens!

The chickens are from my new book purchase, Jan Messent's Knit A Fantasy Story.
I LOVE chickens. I don't collect them or anything, but I do love them.
I think that there were probably chickens around the stable. I made six, but only put three in this picture.
I stuffed them with a cotton ball size bit of fiberfill. The combs and tails are loops of yarn and the beak is a crochet chain of five stitches. The eyes are french knots.
I did all the embellishing before sewing them up.
