Looking for N Scale chickens

 Well the legs didn't print. I'll see what I can do to fix that.
Here is the trial print.

I can't help you.

Underrated post.

Those are laying chickens.

Thank you for trying this.  Those look kind of like flat 2-D chickens.  Do they have rounded bodies when you look at them
from the top or front?

(I know this is being really picky...just for a small scenic detail, but if I'm going to do this, and hand-paint them, I want them to look
at least close)

I'm pretty sure those will not be 2D Max. After all, they were printed on a 3D printer!   

Rod: we need a three-quarter shot of your fowl.

 Here is the file I used. They are 3D and up close they look OK.

 I'll try another photo to see if I can get a better shot of them.

Both Model Power and Preiser have N scale chickens...
I scored what I needed a few years ago, when I needed a few for Denise's "Triple D Farm" module. I also have it sound animated with one-hour looped farm noises loaded onto am SD card for mini MP3s.

 This is the best I can do, but it gives you a idea that they are 3D

Thank you one and all for your efforts.  I know this is tedious.

I cannot find Preiser or Model Power chickens in N Scale.  If anyone has a part number, I would appreciate it.

 I've fatten up the legs a little and have 15 printing now.

Preiser has an assortment of small animals in N scale, there are chickens in that .. part no 79093

 I got one the legs to print. I'm going to add a little more thickness to them and try it again.

I'm waiting for Robert3985 to jump in with N scale chicken feather dimensions in microns and a method to use some kind of flying insect with individual added feathers for complete N scale accuracy.

The closest I've ever come is using an HO scale pigeon repainted for a bald eagle.     However, as an old Atlas April Fools joke, I had N scale Norm and Sue, the cat, and the cat had a dead mouse beside it.  I used a tiny piece of painted .010 wire and photoshopped the closeup views on whiskers and a tail, named the mouse "Spec", as I'd actually photo'd a dead mouse to get the details.  The cat, however drew hostile fire and was told it looked like a pile of butterscotch pudding. But  the N scale mouse had a couple people going there....   this is a tough crowd to please.

And, as you can see, no matter what you do expertly in N scale, somebody HAS to bring up installing sound!

From what I remember seeing, most commercially available N scale injection-molded chickens are a it on a large size.
