Chicken coloring pages

A plump mother hen with a scalloped wing and a bright comb smiles down at her three fluffy chicks gathered at her feet. There is no background, just large, friendly shapes with thick outlines that are perfect for small hands. This page suits toddlers and preschoolers aged about 2 to 5. Sunny yellow for the chicks, a warm brown or white for the hen and red for her comb and wattle make a cheerful set of colors, easy to do with crayons.

Around the farmyard, a mother hen keeps watch over three chicks: two chirping up at her and one pecking at scattered seeds. A wooden fence runs behind them, with a leafy tree on one side and a barn with cross-braced doors on the other, plus tufts of grass all over. It is a great fit for kids aged about 5 to 10. Colored pencils let you give the hen soft feather shading in brown and gold, while felt-tips make the barn pop. Prints on A4 or US Letter.

Five fluffy chicks peck at grain around a realistically feathered hen in a busy country farmyard. Tall sunflowers lean over a rustic fence, and behind it you can see a barn with a hayloft window, a windmill, rolling fields and a leafy tree, with a wooden barrel and daisies in the foreground. The fine feather detail suits older kids, teens and adults. Try alcohol markers or colored pencils in russet and honey tones for the hen, keeping the chicks a pale lemon yellow.

Patterned feathers cover a large hen as five chicks gather around her on a pebbled path. The scene is filled edge to edge with sunflowers, daisies and leaves, while a picket fence, wagon wheel, wooden barrel, windmill and barn peek through behind. Each shape is broken into tiny scales and motifs, making this a long, absorbing project for experienced adult colorists. For a rich result, use fine-liner markers and alternate warm reds, golds and browns across the hen’s feather rows.
