Hey! I was out at a Mrs Roper Romp so I missed this. Sometimes I struggle with joining an irregular shape (chicken) to something that is intended to surround it and be more square. The only way I've found to keep the perfect shape is the following...
1. make a complete granny square and sew the chicken on top. The drawback is that you're using extra yarn and it will end up thicker and more like an applique.
2. Consider downsizing your granny square to a thinner yarn. I was doing this with my eyeballs. The pupils were roughly DK and the sclera was sock weight. It worked better.
3. Try giving more space around your chicken by doing something like [DC, ch1]. This may create a sparer granny square look than what you want.
Backlooping is a good idea too, definitely did that with my eye pupils.
I'll come back if I think of more!
