Invisible

The chicken is in what isn't, not what is. Consider this your important zen koan of the day. Probably about making due with a vegetarian meal?

Turkey Stab

Today one bird would be roasted, and with a quick stab in the back the chicken escaped that fate.

Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Just Jump

You can't stand still. When opportunity knocks you what are you going to do? I might just ignore them? You though. You should just jump at it.

Unsure

I'm not really sure what I'm doing with this site anymore? Once upon a time any dumb thing I thought about doing on the internet just got a coat of ChickenMaker.net, but I have other accounts and projects so it falls into the background sometimes. 

If you're a fan, don't worry. I still like this site and it isn't going away. This is my sandbox and I'm still posting, even if I haven't had any big project on here in a couple years. I feel like it's probably time to pick something new and actually commit to it.

So this is just a quick update and an announcement that I'm going to get something new started on here soon. Even if I haven't actually decided what that is yet.

Festive Fall

Oranges and Browns. Oranges and Browns. Everyone wishes for Oranges and Browns.

Happy Autumn to those of you lucky(?) enough to have four seasons. It's cold today.

Big Vision

With a quality pair of glasses from the optometrist something else can open its third eye.

That something is surely this chicken. These glasses certainly aren't its size.

Sepia

These boots are made for walking, but they are objectively not made for a chicken. They must be horribly uncomfortable with bird feet.

You gotta do it for that yeehaw style though.

Ghost X Zombie – October 2025 Wallpaper

The spookiness of horror, violence and romance happening in the hen house as a Ghost (chicken) meets a Zombie (chicken)

Thank you as always to my Patreon supporters, and as a special occasion Happy Halloween.

On A Hill

Just a dark bird on a hill in the middle of the night. Nothing you can do when the mysterious hill lights start surrounding you. They're just a Halloween miracle maybe?

coo~ shades

This one is pretty coo if you ask me.

Pumpkin Face

We're well into the Halloween season now, and nearing the end of October.

That's why this headless chicken ghost is chasing you. I'm not sure if the bird is unusually large or this is a particularly small pumpkin

Sight – September 2025 Wallpaper

Look at your reflection in the reflection of your reflection. Which one is real? Well, there are a lot of ways to answer that, but "Ceci n'est pas une poulet" as they say.

Welcome back to Chicken Maker and thank you to my Patreon supporters as always.

Splatter

They thought it would all be settled with a single shot. Blood splattered out behind the chicken, but the shot was too high. A waddle destroyed would only leave the bird serial killer more vicious than ever before.

All Out Attack

He's launching his all out attack!

Machine guns and kung fu combine into an unstoppable force.

Cop

As the strange light shined down the buff bird raised a talon, probably going for their gun, because this chicken is a cop.
 

Black Orange

It's the spookiest month of the year, so let's get into our festive colors.

Orange isn't really spooky. I think it's just more Fall. Leaves and Pumpkins and such. We combine it with night for the Halloween Season though.

Big Brim

When it comes to a witch with a hat with a big brim... I suppose you just don't actually get to see her face at all. What if she's a real cutie though?

Blurred

The strange light in the darkness was fuzzy and hard to make out. The blurred figure didn't become more clear, but simply more present. Closer and larger. 

Titled Hat

Just a lone chicken wandering in the desert, tilting his hat and giving you a thank ya' ma'am. Quickly moving on before you notice he's just about the right size for a dinner.

Mosaic Tiles

Okay, we've done enough blue. Back to our regularly scheduled weird rectangles of various colors.

I mean normal birds.

Triple Blue

You start with just one blue, but you can always get another two. 

Sky Line

It's sky blue and has a line so obviously this is what skyline means.

Spiral

Even through it's confusing and it just seems to keep going it's important to remember that a spiral isn't a loop. Whether we're going down the drain or ascending to the heavens I really have no idea what's going on.
 

Blue Nights – August 2025 Wallpaper

Continuing the mood we've been in for the past week or so today's piece is Blue. Aren't most nights basically blue? Or is that just local light pollution? Either way it's a beautiful night. I'll see you all next time.

Thank you as always to my Patreon supporters. Without you I think this would still get at least a couple updates a month, because I like it.

Overlapping

Separately we are all a little light, but together we can become a brighter blue.

You go ahead and tell me this shape isn't a chicken. Maybe it isn't? It's more or less what I always draw though.

Blue Vibe

Waves of blue shaking away from you, but then you remember that even you are blue.

Live in the now, because the blue behind you doesn't matter.

Just Black Blue

I just enjoy a nice silhouette. No message or blue puns for this one. Thank you.

Blue Stand

Take a firm stand and shout out what you truly believe, then start to feel anxious about it. What if other people think less of you?

You might even start feeling... blue.

Blue Ohoho

Just a bird letting out a haughty laugh at the world.

With this we return to a reliable staple of chickenmaker.net. I've once again entered my Blue Period. Expect several more just blue pictures.

Overflow

These colors can't even be contained.

Everything overflows leaving only the pure white.

 

Bright Day

None of that low saturation nonsense. 

Full color. Full Brightness. It's a bright day for us all.

Breath Attack

Despite developing a rather concerning neon green complexion and growing to nearly three times its original size the bird still couldn't release a radioactive breath attack. Despite its best efforts science had failed.

Glow – July 2025 Wallpaper

For this month's wallpaper we're returning to one of the classics, the duality of red and blue. Hot and Cold. Passion and Calculation. Of course this site is purple because it's all a careful balancing act.

We have strong linework and a pleasant glow so slap this one on your computer. It will look great beside your browser icon and the shady 3rd party copy of MS Paint I assume you have installed.

Thank you, as always, to my supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi. I still find it hard to believe you exist.

Ready to Race

Late at night, by the side of the road a chicken stood at the ready.

Was it preparing to cross the road? No, the chicken was ready to race. 

As soon as the car passed the race was on.

Handsome Looking Bird

A handsome looking bird locks eyes from across the field. That seductive gaze...

As a human this was simply an uncomfortable encounter on your side.

Tower – June 2025 Wallpaper

Climbing, striving to reach the peak with nothing in sight. Intense focus, relying on whatever tricks and dark deals you were forced to make along the way. A single slip and you'll fall, never able to climb again. This isn't a metaphor for anything. I just like dark mysterious cursed towers. Classic fantasy setting.

Thank you as always to my supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi. 

Hoodie

Cute round birdy in a blue hoodie. Two-tone because I'm not feeling shading or an outline on this one.

Youthful Vigor

Hoorah! Show off your style and enjoy living life.

I'm not doing that of course. Unlike this bold bird I could never feel comfortable wearing a crop top.

Time and Space

Mastery over Time and Space is a distant illusion for mankind, but what of the descendants of dinosaurs. Surely in their infinite wisdom they passed everything down to the delicious and tasty birds we have today.

Time travel is blue in my mind and I'm not quite sure why... Definitely translucent floating clocks though. That part is objective.

July 4th

Happy America Everyone. As you may be aware I'm watching some fireworks.

Scale

How zoomed in do you want your chicken? I assume somewhere between deep fried and one of those rotisserie chickens from the grocery store.

I like the back one. His lack of detail and smallness are appealing.

Struck By A Thought

Carefully consider your options. None of the ones you think you have matter. It's all going to come down to the poorly conceived notion you get at the last moment.

Anyways, do you think I can do a house of cards shaped like a chicken or would it need too much glue?

Construction Wizard

The construction wizard consulted his blue scroll, but honestly couldn't make heads or tails of these so called skyscrapers. Shouldn't they be something reasonable, like a Chicken Coup or an ominous Tower?

I was on vacation. I thought I let you all know, but I forgot.

Ghostly

 

What makes a ghost? Is it simply a lack of colors and floating in an undefined word of crossing lights?

Of course not. It's also being a bit less than alive.

Card Trick

The humble pigeon thought they were playing a Collectible Card Game, but the chicken Magician's endless deck of cards dazed his vision as he learned the horrible truth. The 6 of Diamonds was the pigeon's card right from the start.

Space Cowboy

Yeehaw yonder space critters. Now that the feathered outlaw has escaped into the depths of space we can only count on a humble space sheriff to stop him.

The gold and purple star BG looks nice I think?

Tiny Chicken

A rare not MS Paint because I'm busy and not at home. My finest phone-based Pixels.

Take Flight – May 2025 Wallpaper

For this month's wallpaper four silhouettes show a bold action, as the chicken attempts to take flight. A Stand, a Leap, a hesitant Stumble and finally Flight, which chickens quite infamously cannot do very well. That's what following your dreams and taking a leap of faith is all about though. You might stumble, but if you don't jump you'll never take flight.

Thank you, as always, to both my paid supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi and everyone who just occasionally comments. Keeps this whole thing fun.

Character

A new and exciting character being added to the roster.  Really stands out from the rest of the site with the firm confidence to just be "Bird"

Not even firmly identifying itself as a Chicken, much less something respectable like a Knight or a Horse.

Face Focus

Maybe I don't know what Monday is...

Anyways for today's chicken I have decided to firmly focus on the face. Do birds have faces? It feels a bit off, but I think it's find. That beak/eye area is the focus of today's chicken maker experience. Not outline the body lets it shine through more.
