Cut the yarn leaving a long tail and tread on the yarn needle. Stitch the opening close and finish.

Now, using a yellow yarn, crochet a beak for the chicken.

Next, using a red yarn, crochet the wattle.

Sl st red yarn into last st in the beak. Ch2, (2dc, hdc, sc, sl st) in the same st. Cut the yarn and pull through the last st. Tuck the yarn tail inside the beak.

Flatten the beak that the wattle is little to the side and stitch to the chicken’s head.

To crochet the comb, use a red yarn.

Ch 8, sl st in second ch from the hook, (hdc, dc, hdc, skip 1st) x3, sl st

Cut the yarn leaving a long tail and stitch to the top of the chicken’s head.

Use black yarn to embroider the eyes.

 

And, that’s how the chicken looks like from the side.
