No gauge given for this pattern, the bodies of the chicks use a small amount of yarn, and are worked in the round.

Additional materials:
Pair of safety eyes for each chick, stuffing, sewing thread, and a small amount of felt is needed for the feet and beaks. Template for the feet (made of felt) is included in the pattern.

From the Knitting Magazine description ” The Buff-Orpington chicks are called Quentin, Joaquim, Tarquin, Cosima, Tamara, and Arabella. They are being brought up in a very proper way; the girls will go to finishing school and learn how to cook properly and lay eggs in a lady-like fashion. The boys will learn to sing rugby songs without using fowl language.”
