Friendly Hen With Smile and Collar of Feathers

A plump hen stands in profile facing left, with a small smile on her beak and a wavy comb on top of her head. A wattle hangs under her chin, and a scalloped patch of feathers frames her neck like a collar. Her round body has a large wing with a smooth oval section and five long feather lines stretching toward the back. The tail fans up and out in rounded feather shapes. Two thin legs end in three-toed feet, one set slightly ahead of the other. The outlines are clean and the sections are big, so younger kids can color without much trouble. Try a different color for each wing feather line and the scalloped neck patch, so the layered feathers stand out. It also works well for talking about the parts of a bird, such as the beak, comb, wattle, and claws.
