The Chicken Strip spritestitch.com challenge

The current challenge at spritestitch.com (in the forums) is... hard to explain. Here's an excerpt:

"You have a choice of project types (or you can do both, if you're like that). One type with dimensions of no larger than 32 x 8 (pixels / stitches). One type in a space of any shape from a game, but with something different inside it. There's going to be a limit your entries on this, I don't wanna see more than two of each type from you! That is 4 in total, for those of you who may just be waking up, or going to sleep, or are rubbish at counting So choose wisely! "

Here is my first entry for the 8 x 32. I call it "The Chicken Strip."
The chicken is from Harvest Moon, and the chicks are from Minish Cap.
