Easter chickens with eggshell

Easter is here so why not make a small easter chicken?
A friend of mine wanted som easterchickens with eggshells so I immediately made a pattern and started crocheting.
The end result:
The work i crocheted in rounds.
I used Drops Muskat and crochet hook 3,5 mm.
You'll need crochet hook, sewing needle, yarn, safety eyes (or embroider the eyes) and stuffing.
 
Abbreviation:
MR - magic ring
st - stitch
sc - single crochet
 
Pattern - Chicken
MR
1. 6 sc in the ring (6)
2. 2 sc in each st (12)
3. 1 sc in each st (12)
4. *1 sc, 2 sc in next st*, repeat until end of round (18)
5. 1 sc in each st (18)
6. *2 sc, 2 sc in next st*, repeat until end of round (24)
7. 1 sc in each st (24)
8. *3 sc, 2 sc in next st*, repeat until end of round (30)
9-10. 1 sc in each st (30)
11. *3 sc, crochet 2 st together*, repeat until end of round (24)
12. 1 sc in each st (24)
Now you can fasten the safety eyes between round 6 and 7 and embroider the beak.
13. *2 sc, crochet 2 st together*, repeat until end of round* (18)
14. *1 sc, crochet 2 st together*, repeat until end of round* (12)
Stuff the chicken.
15. *Crochet 2 st together*, repeat until end of round (6)
Cut the thread and sew the hole close, fasten the thread.
