Chicken Walk: Plump Hen With Scalloped Wing

A plump hen walks to the right in this simple outline drawing. Her body is covered with short curved dashes that mark the feathers, and the big wing on her side has a scalloped edge. The tail feathers at the left are fluffy and rounded. Up front you can see a small round eye, a pointed beak, a bumpy comb on top of her head, and a wattle and earlobe near her face. Two thin legs with long flat feet are mid-step, one stretched forward and one lifted behind. The lines are bold and the open spaces are large, so it works well for younger kids with chunky crayons. Try coloring the wing in a different shade from the body so the layered feathers stand out. Brown, rust, and cream make a classic hen, or pick a speckled gray pattern and follow the little dashes. This free printable also suits a farm animals lesson on parts of a bird.
