Cartoon Chicken

This Chicken is often seen together with a certain cow on television.

This chicken uses also my most often used "fast" 2 balloon body. each balloon represents one foot, one leg, part of body, one arm, and one hand. The 3rd bubble you need for the body usually comes from left over balloon of the head.

Balloons needed: 3 × 260Q white  |  1 × 260Q red  |  1 × 260Q goldenrod  |  1 × 6" white heart
