Chicken Pecking at Scattered Corn on the Ground

Coloring guide
This plump hen leans forward with her head low, pecking at corn kernels scattered on the ground. Bold, smooth lines outline her round body, with a fan of tail feathers behind and a wing edged in scallops. She has a small comb, a wattle under her beak, a big round eye and a fluffy neck ruff, and her two thin legs end in wide, spread toes. Six kernels lie in front of her beak, and a small tuft of grass and a few pebbles sit in the bottom left corner. Thick outlines and roomy spaces make it a good pick for beginners and young kids. Golden-brown and orange work well for the feathers, red for the comb and wattle, and bright yellow for the corn. Print it free for a quiet, creative moment. Love this Chicken coloring page?
