From the description:
How the little folk do love these realistic, unbreakable toys, which can be squeezed and cuddled and tossed about without a bit of damage being done! And of course they have an especial fondness for fluffy yellow chickabiddies and ducklings. Time was when these little live things were displayed in some shop-windows at Easter, just as new bonnets and greeting-cards are, and were sold, each in a pasteboard box with holes in the cover, to be carried home by the small owner and played with for a very little while. But this has all been done away with, thanks to some humane people who feel that the practise was really a cruel one, and entirely needless-as of course was the case; and we now know that a bit of yellow yarn and a little work with a crochet-hook will give the small people of the household an Easter chicken they will not have to weep over the next day!

No gauge is given.

No yarn is given.

No hook size is given.

The pattern also calls for hat wire for the legs and cotton batting for stuffing.

The pattern was published April, 1927.
