Hatching Baby Chicks in a Wooden Crate

Coloring guide
Three round-eyed chicks peek out of cracked eggshells in a cozy farm scene, all nestled in a wooden crate filled with straw. The chicks on the left and right each wear a jagged shell like a little hat, while the middle one sits front and center with tiny wings on the edge of its shell. Two more eggs sit behind them, one smooth and whole, the other covered in zigzag cracks as if it's about to hatch. Loose straw is scattered across the bottom of the crate, which has bolted metal corners and wood planks with plenty of grain lines. Soft yellow chicks, warm orange beaks and golden tan straw would look good. The wide open shapes are easy for small hands. Keep this free page handy for a fun afternoon activity. Add this to your Baby Chicks coloring page collection, alongside Easter for Kids and Easter Egg Hunt.
