Clucking Mother Hen With Two Little Chicks

A big, round hen sits in the middle of the page with her head lifted and her beak slightly open, as if she is clucking. She has a small comb on top of her head, a wattle under her chin, and a fanned tail made of layered feathers. Her wing feathers are drawn in neat overlapping rows on both sides. Two small chicks are tucked in close. One peeks out from under her body near the front, and the other bends down to peck at the ground at the lower left. The words hen and chick are printed across the top. This printable page works well for a farm unit or a lesson on animal families. Try coloring the hen in warm browns and golds, then make the chicks bright yellow so kids can easily see who belongs to whom.
