About this coloring page
A plump hen with a bright comb, a wattle and a short beak stands behind her three chicks. Her wing is drawn with layered feathers, and her tail fans up in long curves. In front, three round, fluffy chicks stand in a row with tiny wings and little feet, each looking in a slightly different direction.
Coloring ideas
Hens can be brown, red, white, black or speckled, so pick your favorite and color the comb and wattle red. The chicks look classic in bright yellow, but brown and cream chicks are real too. Add straw, a nest box or scattered grain to finish the scene.
Skills practiced
Three chicks plus one hen makes four birds, and adding a few more chicks with a pencil turns the page into a simple addition story. Talking about baby animal names (chick, calf, piglet, lamb) and the life cycle from egg to chick to hen adds a little science.
Printing tips
The chicks are small, so crayons with a sharp point or colored pencils work best. This is a lovely page for spring, Easter or a farm unit, and it looks cheerful on a classroom door.
