I did the three pieces and it was super easy to get it all put together. My granddaughter wants to know if they are friends or if the fox tricked the hen into being supper. lol
I will probably do mine in 3 pieces because then I won't have to mess with the 4 additional "joints" where the legs meet the body. But I'm sure it can be done as one piece - just have to deal with 4 more inside points.
