Hen Searching the Ground for Something to Eat

A plump hen leans forward with her head low and her beak pointed toward the ground, as if she is searching for something to eat. Her tail feathers fan up tall in a scalloped shape behind her, and one wing is drawn on her side with several long feather tips at the top. She has a small comb on her head, a round eye, a pointed beak, and a wattle hanging under her chin. Her feet are drawn with long toes at the bottom of the page. The lines are thick and the shapes are large, so this printable page works well for younger kids using crayons or chunky markers. Try coloring the tail and wing feathers in two or three different shades, then talk about how hens use their beaks to peck for seeds and bugs.
