The detail in the feathers is sooo nice! Kinda has his head cocked to the side like he's trying to figure out what's going on. Nice one.

Sometimes it is not good to be a chicken. Although the tilt in the neck indicates a bit of attitude. I'm not sure I'd mess with her! Like the bokeh in the back; I think I'd crop a bit tighter on the right or darken it more to diminish the impact of that fan pattern there.

Aw cute :) Maybe a little bit too grey? There doesn't appear to be any true white in here. I think my shot suffers the same problem.
