Chicken Mom Keeping Her Baby Chick Close

A big plump hen faces left with a tall scalloped comb, a small pointed beak, one round eye, and a wattle hanging under her chin. Her neck feather line zigzags across her chest, and a curved wing section is outlined on her side. Her tail sweeps up to a jagged point at the back. A small round chick sits in front of the wing, with a tiny tuft on its head, a dot eye, a little tail, and a heart-shaped wing outlined on its body. The lines are bold and clean with large open spaces, so it works well for younger kids using crayons or chunky markers. Try coloring the hen in warm browns and reds, then pick a softer yellow for the chick so children can talk about how mothers and babies can look alike but not identical. It is a free printable that fits nicely into a farm or spring lesson.
