Stuff the head more, then close the hole (weave through each front loop and pull), weave in your ends
Crochet Peak
MR, ch 1, 4 sc, pull hole/ring closed, sl st to the first st, squish circle into oval (stitch 1 and 2 will touch, so will 3 and 4)

Hair & Tail
Do the same for the hair and tail (just different locations).
1. Cut 3 pieces of yarn 3-4 inches long each, fold each one in half.
2. Insert a hook into the area where you want the hair/tail, pull one folded yarn piece half way through, then pull the 2 yarn ends through the pulled through loop, and pull to attach the yarn tightly (see the video for a close up of this process).
3. Repeat this step 2 more times such that you have 6 pieces of yarn standing up per hair or tail then trim depending how long you want your hair or tail to be.
Now your Baby Chick Amigurumi is complete!
