Broody Chicken Sitting on Eggs in a Wooden Nesting Box

In this page a plump, smiling hen settles onto a straw nest inside a slatted wooden crate, with three smooth eggs tucked beside her chest. Her wing is made of layered, scalloped feathers, and she has a wavy comb, a small beak, a wattle and big round eyes with little lashes. Loose, overlapping strokes make up the straw along the front, and it spills out onto the ground. The front board of the box shows wood grain and a few nail dots. Bold outlines and fairly large shapes suit preschoolers and early elementary kids. For color, think warm golden browns and oranges on the feathers, bright red on the comb and wattle, and soft cream for the eggs. You can print it at home with no sign-up.
