Here's a little WIP. I'm pretty happy with how it's going. FYI, I want it to be a little stylized, so I made the eye bigger and the head a bit skinnier. I feel like I'm about 70% there on the shading (the beak is kind of a placeholder at the moment), and I haven't done any real lighting yet, but I just wanted to post it and see if anybody had any suggestions. (I'm planning to rig it and do a simple looping animation of the head jerking around very chicken-like. Feel free to be critical! Thanks!
Looks cool. Maybe the only feedback/comment would be the beak, it needs more detail, right now it feels a bit plastic. But of course it's a work in progress so it'll probably get there. If you rig it you have to do that chicken mechanism head tracking thing from Smarter Everyday, where the head stays still:

Thanks Omar! Yeah the beak is kind of just a placeholder. I need to find some good reference. Chickens are pretty weird.
