Chain 10, skip 1: crochet 1sc in each.  After the last sc crochet 1 chain (this is a turning chain)  Turn your work and go back with 1sc in each. When you have worked this round, continue with slip stitches, 1 sl. st. in each (so do not turn your work). Just crochet around and don’t crochet too tight. Leave a long thread. 

Repeat again for wing 2.

You attach the wings (between the transition of head and body) to the sides of the chick.

Eyes Use black beads: between the 18th and 19th round.

Cheeks

I colored the cheeks with beeswax (cheek red). Don't have this? You can also color the cheeks with a soft red pencil, for example. You could also use some rouge, or a red/pink craon.
