Carbon Costume chicken
The Chicken Lady from The Kids in the Hall
In The Kids in the Hall, the Chicken Lady (Mark McKinney) is half man, half chicken. Apparently the offspring of a farmer and a hen, she’s the size of a human adult, smart as a bird, and sexually obsessed. For this costume you’ll need the wardrobe of an older lady and feathers, lots of feathers.
Chicken Little
In the 2005 Disney film Chicken Little, Ace Cluck (voiced by Zach Braff), also known as Chicken Little, is a young rooster who caused pandemonium in his town when he thought the sky was falling and started to panic. Chicken Little gets a reputation for ruining things accidentally, though he is an honest and brave chicken.
Chanticleer from Rock-a-Doodle
Chanticleer (voiced by Glen Campbell) is the Elvis Presley of roosters. Pretty literally. His character from the 1991 animated film Rock-A-Doodle is clearly based on the beloved late crooner, complete with a plume that he dyes black after making it big in the city. And just like Elvis he has both a simple country look and a slick city look, both of which are easily adapted for either male or female cosplayers.
For Chanticleer’s country look you’ll want a white button down shirt, a black belt, jeans, and either yellow boots or costume chicken feet, depending on the look you’re going for. You’ll also want to style your hair in a pompadour and use red spray dye or opt for a long red wig to simulate his plume, as well as his red, green, and purple tail. If you want a more chicken-esque look you can also get a fake beak.
If you want Chanticleer’s City look you’ll need purple pants and a matching belt, a red cowboy shirt, and either a black pompadour wig or a long black wig. You can use the same chicken feet as his country look as well as the belt and the beak, if you’re using one. If you wear boots, however, you’ll probably want to sub in some black leather ones to match the belt. And of course no big city crooner would be complete without his microphone.
Steelbeak from Darkwing Duck
Steelbeak is the chief agent of F.O.W.L. (Fiendish Organization for World Larceny). He is second-in-command and team leader of F.O.W.L. He is one of Darkwing Duck’s nemesis. He is a suave and urbane rooster who acts like a 1920s gangster.
