This is the chick's head. If you want to stitch on eyes and a beak, it will be easiest to do so now. I used giant plastic eyes, but you could use small beads or even french knots. For my beak, I took orange yarn, joined where I wanted the beak to go, ch 4 tightly, then break off. With tapestry needle, join the ch back to the chick's head and sew down. Now continue to work the body.
