Clucking Mother Hen With Two Chicks Nearby

A plump mother hen stands with her head tilted up and her beak slightly open, as if she is clucking. She has a jagged comb on top of her head, a long wattle under her chin, and one round eye with a small highlight. Her big body is covered with layered feathers on the wing and a tall, fanned tail with lots of curved sections. Two small chicks stay close to her. One peeks out from under her wing with a tiny beak and dot eye, and the other bends down near her feet, pecking at the ground. This printable page works well for talking about how hens care for their chicks. Try giving the tail feathers a few different shades of brown and gold, then color the chicks a soft yellow so they stand out against mom.
