Finishing:

Get one circle and attach a stitch marker in one of the stitches. We are going to sew facial features on this marked circle and the marked stitch for making a hanging loop. So make sure to attach facial features when the marked stitch is facing up. Sew comb, wattle, and beak with the yarn tail and tapestry needle. With black color yarn, embroider 2 ears just above the beak.
