Baby Chicken Hatchlings Peeking Out of Cracked Eggshells
Coloring guide
Three round, fluffy chicks peek out of cracked eggshells. Each one has a little tuft of feathers on top, big shiny eyes, a small open beak and tiny wings gripping the jagged shell edge. One chick sits at the top and two more sit lower left and right. A whole egg with a zigzag crack across it sits in the center of the nest, so a fourth hatchling might be coming. The eggs rest in loose, overlapping straw drawn with thick, clean outlines. Big open areas on the chicks' bodies are simple for small hands, and the straw gives older kids some detail to chew on. Soft yellow suits the chicks, orange the beaks, and a mix of browns and golds the nest. Print it free for a fun afternoon activity. Add this to your Chicken coloring page collection, alongside Owl and Dinosaurs.
