- Black embroidery thread: Used to embroider details like the beak and eyes.
- Safety eyes (size 5mm): Plastic eyes with a safety lock to prevent them from coming loose, which is especially important for items intended for children.
- Fiberfill: Used to stuff the chicken case and give it shape.
- Yarn needles: Used for sewing the different parts of the case together and adding details.
