Howdee, fans! 
This project is a collaborate effort of my mom and me. Our local broadcasting studio has started a call to send them self-made chicken in all forms to decorate the TV studio for Easter. Paper, fabric, mixed media - any kind of creation is appreciated. My mom is an avid hobby crafter and swang into action. I left her "home alone" for one day and when I returned she presented to me some paper ball chicken!
Needless to say that I joined her and chose the Canon Japanese Bantam chicken for my entry. I chose it for its cuteness and the easy assembly. To make it look more interesting I recoloured the pattern and made one original sized one and two others which I re-scaled to 71% so that they would fit on one page.
These are the printed parts ...
... and the finished animals.
Very cute - but a bit "un-special". Knowing that my mom has a large box of all sorts of crafting stuff I left the chicken in her care to beef them up a bit and went to work.
The first thing she did was to fill the body with cotton and to add some paper feet:
The big one got the large feet, BTW.
Then she put the models into her crafting box, shook them a little bit and when she took them out again they looked like this:
