1. Root Bone - All skeletons must contain a root bone from which all other bones, called child bones, extend. 2. Bottom Jaw - This bone allows the lower beak to move. 3. Top Jaw - This bone allows the upper beak to move. 4. Bottom Eye - This bone allows BOTH of the lower eyelids to move. 5. Top Eye - This bone allows BOTH of the top eyelids to move. * The leg bones also move, allowing the chicken to walk.

Each object is added to a specific bone, covering the skeleton, and moves along with the bone. Objects that have been added to a bone do not necessarily need to be in contact with it. As long as an object has been added to a bone, it will move as the bone does. As a result, an outside object added to the top eye bone, for example, would move up and down as the top eyelid does.
