17 Chicken Coloring Pages
Chickens are the most common bird on Earth, with tens of billions living on farms and in backyards. They are descendants of the red junglefowl of Southeast Asia, and they communicate with more than 20 different calls. A hen can lay around 250 to 300 eggs a year, and the color of the shell depends on the breed, not on what the hen eats. This set shows chickens around the farm and in funny spots. A chicken stands on a farm, perches on a fence post and sits on a stack of hay bales. Silly pages put a chicken in a chef hat, inside a birdhouse and a watering can, and on a stack of gifts. There are chick pages too, including a baby chick and a chick on a stack of eggs. Hens can be white, red-brown, black, gray, speckled or golden, and roosters often have shiny green-black tail feathers. Red combs and wattles add a pop of color on top. These pages fit farm units and spring.
Fluffy chick, hen, rooster and barnyard
The fluffy chick and Cute Chicken are single birds with no background, easy first pages for ages 3 to 5. Cute Rooster adds a neck ruff and long separate tail feathers for kids around 4 to 7. Chicken on Farm is the medium sheet, with a barn, a wooden fence, bushes and pebbles around the hen for children about 5 to 8 who like a full scene.
Learn the life cycle from egg to rooster
Line up the pages to show how chickens grow: start with the chick, move to Cute Chicken, then Cute Rooster, and talk about how a hen lays eggs that hatch after about three weeks. Kids can draw a nest of eggs next to the hen on Chicken on Farm and add a few more chicks pecking in the grass, then count how many birds the farm has in total.
